President Trump announced plans Thursday to establish a task force and a presidential commission to protect Christians from religious discrimination.

Trump addressed the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, where he laid out multiple steps he planned to take to address what he described as attacks on religious liberty and on Christians in particular.

“While I’m in the White House, we will protect Christians in our schools, in our military, in our government, in our workplaces, hospitals and in our public squares,” he said. “And we will bring our country back together as one nation under God.”

Trump said he would establish a presidential commission on religious liberty that “will work tirelessly to uphold this most fundamental right.”

Are you saying discrimination against conservatives is acceptable because it's not a religion?

He should go further, he should ban the teaching of the Theory of Evolution and replace it with the Theory of Creationism.

It's religious freedom when they're doing the discriminating.

First they came for the migrants, but I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t a migrant, 
then they came for the atheists ….

School: We are all inclusive, yes that Black Lives Matter shirt is embraced here, we love all people from all walks of life. 

Same school: No you cannot wear that "All Lives Matter" shirt, no you cannot wear that "thin blue line" shirt, we don't allow political messaging at this school.

While not specifically "Christian", these are certainly conservative values that are being discriminated against in schools.

Perhaps you can give examples of Christian values being discriminated again- because conservatism and Christianity are two different things.

No, they're saying “conservatism is not Christianity”.

Because (as @Piney can tell you, Quakers certainly aren't 'conservative.'  Lutherans probably don't qualify, nor do a number of other Christian sects.  Trump's people would probably cast scorn on Mormons and Catholics, though they're Christian.

Last I knew, conservatism was a political view and held by people of many religions.  Likewise, liberal views are not just the provenance of a single religion.

So... yes, discriminating against political rhetoric is acceptable.  This board discriminates against extreme expressions of politics, if you'll remember, and it's part of our rules.

The Committee on the Judiciary and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government have been investigating the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) categorization of certain Catholic Americans as potential domestic terrorists. While the FBI claims it "does not categorize investigations as domestic terrorism based on the religious beliefs—to include Catholicism—of the subject involved," an FBI-wide memorandum originating from the FBI's Richmond Field Office did just that.

Trump isn't a Christian, so I really don't think Trump's conservativism represents any religion.

This is a private board that is not subject to the same rules and regulations as the US government. This board has discriminated against extreme views from all walks of life, including religions. In the real world it is unacceptable to discriminate for political OR religious reasons. Both are wrong.

So anyway.  Now that we have established that conservatism has nothing to do with the topic. 

There is a "Seperation of Church and State" which seems to be violated here.  We don't have a task force to erase Anti-satanic bias, or Anti-islamic bias, or Anti-Wiccan bias, but I see people bashing those religions far more than Christianity.

Can't even put a display up here in Iowa without someone destroying it: https://apnews.com/article/satanic-temple-hate-crime-iowa-cb182f8b3235d25fd4949e0b2e4f43f7

Actually, he is. He's talked about it often since he was almost killed.

Citation, please. While I'm waiting, did you know Trump said he wasn't a Christian. The speech he gave on the campaign trail last year where he said that Christians "you won't ever have to vote again" (butchered out of context by the media, but it makes it easy to find the speech), he concluded his speech by saying "I love you Christians, I'm not a Christian myself but I love you anyway".

It's getting late so I won't look it up tonight. He may not officially belong to a Christian sect, but he believes in God. He referenced God at his rallies several times saying he saved his life for a reason.

Trump Ahead of National Prayer Breakfast: God Saved Me from Assassination

 Speaking ahead of the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, President Donald Trump credited God with saving him from being assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania, last July.

Trump spoke about the nearly fatal shooting and the strengthening of his faith thereafter while addressing members of Congress in the United States Capitol before the breakfast. He said God had him turn his head to the right during the July 13 rally to look at the immigration chart, which ultimately saved him.

You can believe in God without being a Christian (I believe in God and am not a Christian). Trump can mention God as many times as he likes, it doesn't make him a Christian, he's literally said he isn't one:

"I love you Christians. I'm not Christian, I love you"!

So while this clown is taking America backwards into the dark ages again dismissing a line between church and state and doing things like renaming landmarks and making up jobs for his friends is anyone actually doing any president stuff?

War in Russia is still going. He's flip flopped on cheap groceries and forced Canada and Mexico to do something they were already doing. Biggest actions seem to be putting criminals on the streets and offending other countries. He's pretty crap out the gate isn't he. 

The Riviera proposal is probably the dumbest thing he has said since the pet eating thing too. Biden's starting to look sharp by comparison.

To be accurate, he's also literally said that he is one.

Quote

President Donald Trump said in a written statement that he no longer identifies as a Presbyterian and now sees himself as a nondenominational Christian.

“Though I was confirmed at a Presbyterian church as a child, I now consider myself to be a nondenominational Christian,” Trump, who has repeatedly identified as a Presbyterian in the past, said in a written response to RNS.

I guess we're left with the fact that we can't take Don the Felon at his word, which is a place I'm comfortable with.
