1. For those of us who can't stomach the sight and sound of Trump or his fascist goons:

‘According to Bondi, the task force will identify any anti-Christian policies across the U.S. government, seek input from faith-based organizations to end anti-Christian bias, and fix deficiencies and regulations that may contribute to anti-Christian bias.
[…]
It also pointed out President Joe Biden's declaration of March 31 as Trans Day of Visibility, which last year coincided with Easter, as an example of anti-Christian bias, despite the date having for years been recognized as an international day of celebration for transgender people.
[…]
In a statement published in response to Trump's executive order, the Interfaith Alliance said it will infringe upon the rights of those in the name of protecting the rights of Christians.

"Instead of protecting the rights of Christians to pray and worship as they please, it uses the language of religious freedom to attack trans people, critique our right to reproductive freedom and defend discriminatory adoption policies," it said.’

A ‘task force’ in search of a ‘problem’ that doesn’t exist.

And President Biden’s declaration in support of transgender Americans is in no manner ‘anti-Christian,’ the notion is a lie; the great majority of transgender Americans are Christian.

The First Amendment separates Church and State. Bondi wants to make defending Christianity a cornerstone of her job as Attorney General.
There is no anti-christian bias in government, but she would surely like to have a pro-christian bias.

...what an Attorney General is charged with doing. ...Or what's in the Bill of Rights. Seriously - not ignoring - just no freaking idea.
