VA Secretary Doug Collins this week sent a rare department-wide email requesting employees to report any allegations of “anti-Christian discrimination” among their colleagues. The email, which was reviewed by The Associated Press, asks for “names, dates, and locations” of any alleged incidents to be reported to an internal email address. The Guardian first reported the email.

President Donald Trump has launched a government-wide task force aimed at rooting out any bias against Christians, who are by far the largest faith group in the United States and hold significant political power. The two-year task force, chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi and composed of Cabinet and other government representatives, is supposed to “identify any unlawful anti-Christian” actions under the Biden administration, change any objectionable policies and recommend steps to rectify any past failures.

Yes, my name is now Christian. By refusing to pay tithe to me, you are perpetuating anti-Christian bias.

This is so unapologetically the Nazi empire now it's not even funny. They're just screaming the quiet part - all the quiet parts - out loud.

Better report the President first, I have never seen a Christ like behavior from him.

How about we keep religion out this MAGAts.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 22 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

my religion requires ramming the largest dildo I can afford up the ass of every bigot insisting their religion is the one true religion.

What's good for the geese is enlightening for the gander.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 12 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, and if they don't let you do it then they are discriminating against your faith, right?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

Exactly!

enlightening the unenlightened is the obligation of all True Believers.

How dare you question the wisdom of his holiness, Führer Trump? Religion is one of their major propaganda tools so that's like asking a horse to stop shitting wherever it goes.

Fundamentally this makes America no different than any ME nation who enacts Sharia law.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 11 hours ago

Why do you think the civilised world sneers at 'Murica?

We consider it the christistian taleban, we refer to the idiots as " ly'all quaeda"

We hold America in contempt, and are quietly hopeful that it will just fuck off and go away

They have a bigger and more effective army. That has always been the main difference.
