On Tuesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi hosted an inaugural meeting of a task force consisting of other members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet, to discuss its mission to eradicate alleged “anti-Christian bias” within the federal government.

The task force is an initiative born out of a February executive order by Trump, in which the president accused former President Joe Biden’s administration of fostering an “anti-Christian weaponization of government.” Bondi quoted a part of Trump’s order at the beginning of Tuesday’s meeting, saying, “The Biden administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians, while ignoring violent anti-Christian offenses.”

Among the several examples of supposed anti-Christian bias Trump listed in his executive order, was the mention of federal cases in which anti-abortion activists had been convicted of violating the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE Act.

But Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, president and CEO of Interfaith Alliance and an ordained Baptist minister, joins the chorus of those who have taken issue with the Trump administration’s apparent messaging that Christianity, the largest faith group in the U.S., is under attack.

“If you’re not acknowledging as a Christian that you’ve got a lot of privilege in this country, you’re out of your mind,” he told HuffPost, emphasizing the privilege particularly associated with white Christians. (Raushenbush was formerly the executive editor for HuffPost’s Religion section.)
