Trump administration can't find the "anti-Christian bias" in government they are looking for, because it's not there.

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-trump-administration-is-failing-to.html

While it is true that the number of Americans connected to a Christian church in some way, whether in active participation as a member, or simply considering themselves "affiliated" or as part of past family tradition, is in relatively rapid decline, it is an observable fact that there is no anti-Christian bias anywhere in our society that has had even the remotest impact on churches and their mission and purpose. In fact, I can say with confidence that one of the most easily provable facts about American culture and society is the privilege and favor that is given to white, Protestant Americans over all other elements or segments of society.

The problem is that the privilege which has been extended, which is a violation of the Constitution's separation of church and state and establishment clause in many cases, has been so much of a privilege, that the withdrawal of the privilege to get things back to equal and fair treatment is looked upon as bias, rather than simply as an adjustment being made where favor has been granted when it shouldn't have been. Putting things in the perspective of religious neutrality is seen as anti-Christian bias, even though it is nothing close to that.

Such claims require facts. We already know that virtually every claim Trump has made, this time or last time he was in office, is a baseless lie. He simply asserts that something is true, in order to justify taking some kind of action that he wants to take. His facts and figures are not factual, they are made-up lies. And one of the biggest lies he tells is about a supposed "anti-Christian bias" that exists somewhere in the United States.

The question is, where is it?

If one would consider the teachings of Jesus

Top 2 commandments
1) Love God
2. Love your neighbor (followed up by the parable of the hurt man and the Samaritan (despised minority) who helped him

Matthew 25
You will be judged on how you treatde the poor, hungry, homeless, stranger, and sick

Pray alone in private
Contrast that with MAGA Mike and the other modern Pharisee hypocrites

And I'll throw in a couple of old testament tecahings that certainly fit the teachings of jesus
Isaiah 10:1-2 Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, 2 to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.

Micah 6:8 What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.

There is definitely a bias against all those things in the Republican party.

You could not win a Republican in 90% of districts preaching that kind of "communism"

For Christians in the U.S. to be playing this card (which many of them have or attempted to since the Reagan era) is the height of absurdity. Rational thought turned on its head.
