President Trump cares quite a lot about God and religious freedom. During his first year in office, President Trump signed an executive order advancing religious freedom and empowering freedom of speech, ensuring religious institutions can freely exercise their First Amendment rights to advocate for causes that reflect their values.
It also checks the abuses of the Johnson Amendment, a provision in the tax code that prevented nonprofit organizations—including churches—from freely exercising their First Amendment rights.
In 2018, the Department of Health and Human Services established a new Conscience and Religious Freedom division to protect religious freedom of conscience in health care matters, fulfilling one of President Trump’s key campaign promises from the 2016 election—his pledge to roll back the infringements on religious freedom imposed by the Obama administration.
That same year, the president signed an executive order establishing the White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative to provide recommendations on the administration’s policy agenda as it affects faith-based communities. This initiative will guarantee faith-based community organizations and programs have a voice in the White House, enlisting their help to formulate policy recommendations that will further secure religious liberty in this country.
This isn’t just a matter of principle; it’s also practical public policy. Faith-based organizations and initiatives play an important role in alleviating poverty, feeding the homeless and performing other vital services for communities across the United States.
The Trump administration also finalized a rule granting more flexibility for federal employees whose religious beliefs require them to abstain from work on certain days. This measure ensures federal employees are not penalized for practicing their religious beliefs, a central component of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom.
