Trump Signs Executive Order for Religious Liberty Commission

During a National Day of Prayer event at the White House, President Trump declared his intent to 'bring religion back to our country,' joking about disregarding the traditional separation of church and state. Trump signed an executive order establishing a Religious Liberty Commission, composed of clergy and legal experts, to identify threats to religious freedom and recommend protective actions. The event featured participation from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim clergy, highlighting a commitment to religious inclusion, though Trump emphasized combating anti-Christian bias and anti-Semitism. The new commission and a previously established White House Faith Office are designed to empower faith-based organizations and collaborate with federal agencies to protect religious liberty. Senior advisor Paula White and other faith leaders praised the initiative, calling for a spiritual reset and reaffirming the importance of religious values in American society. The administration’s actions mark a significant shift toward integrating religious influence within governmental policies and public life.
