Lutheran (ELCA) bishops of Wisconsin and upper Michigan published a statement regarding Trump's Executive Order establishing a new “Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias.”

I applaud this statement; the EO obviously gives the government the right to determine what "Christian" means and what "bias" against that is. IMHO, that EO is a violation of religious freedom and the 1A.

Excerpt, due to space limitations: With this executive order, the federal government has given itself the authority to define what might be considered “anti-Christian,” and therefore also the authority to define what s Christian — a power which belongs to the Church alone, not the federal government. This executive order violates religious freedom, corrupts the separation of church and state, and creates a more hostile environment for Christians and all citizens who believe differently than the current administration and its religious advisors. We feel so strongly that this task force is a threat to our values and our freedom that we wrote a public statement and invited religious leaders and others to sign on (https://www.wichurches.org/articles/religious-liberty). We now have over 250 signers, and we invite all who care about religious freedom and the preservation of our democracy to join us. Christian Nationalism is a dangerous ideology that distorts the Gospel and turns Jesus and Christianity into a weapon for power and division instead of a movement towards love and justice. It demands that a particular brand of Christianity be privileged by the state and impose that singular belief system in order to be a “good American.” (For more information on Christian Nationalism, check out www.christiansagainstchristiannationalism.org.)

The Lutheran(ELCA) bishops of Wisconsin speak:

"We, the Lutheran (ELCA) bishops in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, are concerned about an executive order signed by President Trump on Feb. 6 that established a new 'Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias.' This task force has the duty to 'identify any unlawful anti-Christian policies, practices, or conduct by an agency.'"
