DOJ Report Claims Biden Policies Anti-Christian; Secular Groups Decry

5/1/2026

Summary

Story summary

The DOJ released a 197-page report on April 30 2026 accusing President Joe Biden’s policies of anti-Christian bias.
The report says a 2024 foster-care rule requiring LGBTQ+ youth training caused Christian families to lose licenses.
It says the Department of Homeland Security posts Bible verses and schools must disclose transgender students to parents.
Secular groups, including Americans United for Separation of Church and State, condemned the report as baseless and misleading.

History

Historical Context

In 1990 the Supreme Court’s Employment Division v. Smith rejected broad religious exemptions, prompting Congress to enact the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 1993, passed by a Senate vote of 97-to-3 and signed by President Bill Clinton. Subsequent rulings such as Fulton (2021) revived strict-scrutiny review, so the 2026 DOJ report accusing President Biden of anti-Christian bias will likely be assessed under the RFRA framework.
