Incorrect. Defense of Religious Liberty: Trump prioritized religious freedom, which many Christians view as a core tenet of their faith. He signed an Executive Order on February 6, 2025, establishing the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, aimed at eliminating perceived anti-Christian policies and practices in federal agencies. During his first term, he issued an Executive Order in 2017 to uphold religious liberty, protecting the rights of religious organizations and individuals to act according to their beliefs. For example, he supported the Little Sisters of the Poor in their fight against mandates requiring contraceptive coverage, which they viewed as violating their conscience. These actions protected Christians from government overreach, making him a champion of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom. Pro-Life Policies: Trump is often described as the most pro-life president in U.S. history by his supporters. He was the first sitting president to speak at the March for Life in 2020, signaling strong support for the anti-abortion movement. He appointed three Supreme Court justices (Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett) who contributed to the 2022 Dobbs decision, overturning Roe v. Wade, a major victory for pro-life advocates. His administration also implemented policies like defunding international organizations that promote abortion, reinforcing his commitment to protecting unborn life, which aligns with the Christian ethic of valuing life from conception. Support for Israel: Trump’s foreign policy decisions, such as recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, moving the U.S. embassy there, and brokering the Abraham Accords, were seen as supportive of biblical Israel, resonating with evangelical Christians who view Israel’s prominence as tied to eschatological beliefs. His visit to the Western Wall in 2017, the first by a sitting U.S. president, was symbolic for many Christians who see support for Israel as a religious duty. Engagement with Evangelical Leaders: Trump cultivated close relationships with evangelical leaders like Paula White, Robert Jeffress, and Franklin Graham, who portrayed him as an ally of Christian causes. His administration included faith-based initiatives, such as the White House Faith Office, and he frequently invited pastors to pray at events, signaling a public embrace of Christian imagery and rhetoric. Some evangelical leaders, like Rabbi Jonathan Cahn and Lance Wallnau, likened Trump to biblical figures such as King Cyrus or Jehu, suggesting he was divinely appointed to advance Christian interests, despite not being a traditional Christian himself. Opposition to Perceived Anti-Christian Trends: Trump’s rhetoric often framed him as a defender of Christians against secularism, globalism, and progressive policies. His 2024 campaign characterized his mission as a “righteous crusade” to restore America as “one nation under God,” resonating with Christian nationalists who see him as protecting America’s Christian heritage. He criticized policies like the Biden administration’s 2024 declaration of Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility,” positioning himself as a counter to perceived anti-Christian cultural shifts. Judicial Appointments: Beyond the Supreme Court, Trump appointed numerous conservative judges to federal courts, who are seen as likely to uphold religious liberty and traditional values. Supporters argue this will have a lasting impact on protecting Christian interests for decades. Cultural Symbolism: Trump’s public gestures, such as holding a Bible outside St. John’s Church in 2020 or selling special editions of the King James Bible in 2024, were seen by supporters as bold affirmations of Christian identity, even if controversial. After surviving an assassination attempt in July 2024, Trump claimed divine intervention, a narrative that reinforced his image as a God-protected leader among some Christians
