Bias against Christians and Jews? Here are the numbers

Trump announced a task force to combat discrimination, headed by AG Pam Bondi
By Don Feder | February 18, 2025

President Trump believes the hand of God saved him from an assassin's bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania. Now Mr. Trump is extending his hand to persecuted Christians and Jews – not in Africa or the Middle East but right here in America.

At the National Prayer Breakfast on Feb. 6, the president announced a task force to combat anti-Christian bias headed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, a passionate defender of First Amendment freedom of religion.

"While I'm in the White House, we will protect Christians in our schools, in our military, in our government and in the public square," Mr. Trump proclaimed.

This drew the predictable response from the left.

USA Today columnist Chris Brennan insisted, "There is no bias" against Christians. If he went to a circus, he'd miss the elephants.

Americans United for Separation of Church and State squawked that the task force would "misuse religious freedom to justify bigotry and discrimination."

Fighting bigotry and discrimination justifies bigotry and discrimination? The group should change its name to Americans United for the Separation of Rhetoric and Reason.

In a 2023 survey, 60% of White evangelicals said they faced a lot of discrimination. From May 2020 through November 2024, there were 366 attacks on Catholic churches in 43 states, including arson, vandalism and desecration.

The Justice Department's civil rights division prosecuted more than 50 pro-life activists involved in sidewalk counseling, while 96 violent attacks on pregnancy resource centers and pro-life offices were largely ignored.

The FBI's office in Richmond, Virginia, produced an 11-page memo that suggested a link between traditional Catholics and domestic terrorism.

After the bizarre document was leaked, it was hastily withdrawn. Still, it reflected the mindset of federal law enforcement under President Biden.

Comparing Mr. Trump and his predecessor, CatholicVote charges: "Our second Catholic President facilitated the persecution and prosecution of Christians who disagreed with his anti-Christian agenda, while the current president stands strong for the safety and religious freedom of Christians everywhere."

While the president moved to counter Christophobia, he also joined the fight against anti-Semitism.

The Department of Justice announced a task force to combat anti-Semitism in schools and colleges, explaining, "Jewish students have faced an unprecedented barrage of discrimination," including assault, harassment and intimidation.

In testimony before Congress in 2023, the presidents of Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Pennsylvania equivocated on whether calls for genocide violate their codes of conduct on harassment.

Claudine Gay, then president of Harvard, absurdly declared, "When speech crosses into conduct, we take action." In other words, until the pro-Hamas mob begins setting up gas chambers on the quad, Ivy League schools will take a wait-and-see approach.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, Mr. Trump's nominee for ambassador to the United Nations, said the testimony was "pathetic and morally bankrupt." The president has promised to revoke the visas of foreign students engaged in anti-Jewish demonstrations.

Anti-Semitism has reached epidemic proportions. In the three months after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas atrocities in Israel, there were four times the number of attacks on Jews as in the same period the year before.

Jews are 2% of the U.S. population but accounted for 68% of all religion-based hate crimes reported in 2023. I wonder whether moving against this evil constitutes a "misuse of religious freedom to justify bigotry and discrimination." Better check with the Orwellian Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

Crimes against Christians and Jews should not be viewed in isolation but as part of a far-ranging war against faith and religious values.

Anti-Christian animus is driven by the awareness that committed Christians uphold biblical values, including normative sexual morality, putting them at odds with abortion on demand, transgenderism and the LGBTQ agenda.

Most American Jews aren't that religious. But those who are the most visibly Jewish – Orthodox Jews and Hasidim – have borne the brunt of anti-Semitic attacks driven by the left and radical Islam.

Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, observes that the worst anti-Semites are on the left. "They are well-educated and occupy elite seats in our institutions," Mr. Donohue said. Like Harvard and MIT?

At the National Prayer Breakfast, Mr. Trump confessed: "I really believe you can't be happy without religion, without that belief. Let's bring religion back; let's bring God back into our lives."
For the left, those are fighting words, which is why its response to Mr. Trump's efforts to fight religious discrimination is borderline hysterical.

Part II - Additional Information plus Other Topics

1) According to WND's bio in brief, attorney Don Feder was "For 19 years, he was an editorialist and staff columnist for the Boston Herald, New England's second largest newspaper. During those years, the Herald published over 2,000 of his [i.e.: Feder's] columns."

2) If there is a subject that I am more keenly interested in than the politics, internal and external challenges to millions of more much needed affordable mainstream manufactured homes it is the subjects of God, faith, and how that ought to relate to our everyday lives. There is an easy case to be made that God the Creator of all is real and that God should be considered in every important decision we our our society make.

The New York Post produced this image based on the Shroud of Turin, which despite decades of controversy, is increasingly being seen as science-supported evidence that the Shroud was the burial cloth of a crucified man.

3) There are thousands upon thousands of laws in the U.S. at the local, state and federal levels. It is simply not possible for most Americans to know what all of the things deemed illegal. That contributes to the reason why the argument has been made that the average citizen 'commits 3 felonies a day.' Which is another way of saying, if someone with power and influence wants to 'get you' there are plenty of laws that could be called upon to do so.

https://patch.com/florida/lake...

4) By contrast to the myriad laws that exist, God Almighty gave us 10 Commandments. All of the other roughly 613 laws found in the Hebrew Scriptures (a.k.a.: the Old Testament) are based upon those 10 laws.

5) Try to find a problem our town, county, state, or nation has that isn't somehow linked to violation(s) of one of the 10 Commandments. Those states that are moving to bring the subject of God back into schools are prudent to do so. To deny God is to deny reality. For evidence of God look no further than your nearest mirror. YOU are made in the "image and likeness" of God.

6) The more God has been pushed to the side in our society the greater the waste, fraud, corruption, crime, and war. Of course.

7) Jesus simplified the Ten Commandments to two. Love God. Love your neighbor. If we truly valued and respected all of our neighbors as they merit we would have a vastly better society that would yield a much better qualilty of life.

8) While there are topics that this writer would disagree with attorney and author Scott Lively on, Lively had a point that there has been a culture war underway for years in the U.S. Near the core of that war is a kind of war against the truths of faith. Give Lively credit for standing up for his beliefs.

Culture Wars Author-Attorney Scott Lively Says Goodbye to WND Column

We have a steady stream of reminders of the history of faith in our society. Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving are obvious. Less obvious are celebrations like St. Valentine's Day, Halloween, Mother's Day and Father's Day, each of which is inspired by belief or lessons of faith.

I asked my teenage son the other day - what are the two ways the Fulton Sheen said we can start our day? Without hesitation he answered: "Good morning, God." Or "Good God, morning." The famous bishop had a prime time program for years on network television and was one of the top rated shows, with people of all faiths, and some who were skeptics, tuning in.

In the background of all of our decisions and thinking, if Godly teaching were in the mix, our society would be so much better off. Just saying.
