This is dangerous and unconstitutional- it gives a certain small group of religious power and privilege status over other people of diverse religions and beliefs.

NEW: The VA is establishing an "anti-Christian bias" task force and asking VA employees to submit any instances they witness of anti-Christian bias in the Dept to Christianbiasreporting at va dot gov.

They are seeking the following examples.

I e-mailed them that they themselves are showing anti-Christian bias by going against numerous Bible passages that say to not tattle.

wvclc.bsky.social•41 days ago

Just take out the word Christian and insert religious

notjoeking.bsky.social•41 days ago

Religion is already a protected group. If there was an epidemic of religious bias then maybe this would be a possible solution, but only if it included all religions.

mountainlyons.bsky.social•41 days ago

It was until they killed DEI
Discrimination against everyone except male WASP is now standard.

notjoeking.bsky.social•41 days ago

Another solution to a problem that does not exist.

We just had a national Christian holiday (Easter) and the flags are at half staff for the Pope. How are Christians disadvantaged again? Oh yeah, they aren't.

I think 5 and 6 are the scariest.

lerris.bsky.social•41 days ago

It is also beyond disgusting. The US was formed with the idea of freedom _of_ religion, or none at all.

This is blatant first amendment violation inserted via reverse double speak. They specify which religion is above others.

jmidnight.bsky.social•41 days ago

This whole administration is anti-Christian in its behavior

jdukin.bsky.social•41 days ago

It would be terrible if their email was flooded…

gpswenson.bsky.social•41 days ago

For lands sakes. It is freedom FROM religion as much as it is freedom to choose your religion. This reminds me of those straight pride parades.

markvdhmusic.bsky.social•41 days ago

One of the least Christian people in the world is President. Almost everything he does has anti-Christian bias. Report him.

bluetose.bsky.social•41 days ago

Snitching is what this administration has resorted to. Let's inform others of who are anti- freedom and democracy.

keyeshistory.bsky.social•41 days ago

Every single time they cut funding for the poor, the needy, the children, the workers- every time they cut the governemnt workforce, the offices, the methods of contact people can use- Every single unChristian thing this administration does should be reported.

tomluthermusic.bsky.social•41 days ago

There's a pretty blatant anti-Christian bias in the White House at the moment.

pham60.bsky.social•41 days ago

Does this violate the establishment clause? Or equal protection?

orengteach.bsky.social•41 days ago

Reminds me of stuff I've been hearing for decades. Christians have this victim mentality that dates back to what, jesus? My bro is more religious than the rest of the family & claimed to be victim of anti-christian bias for years. I suspect he means his friends don't want to hear it anymore.

JHC !

This is basically the “majority” of a specific group (Christians) being strongly encouraged to report others of minority religious groups. Next? The name of a POC used as a form of racial harassment against another majority…white individuals.

White Christian Nationalism.

annie-bodi.bsky.social•41 days ago

This is completely anti-christian!

capsva.bsky.social•41 days ago

Some of the most unchristian people in our nation are asking others to assess and decide what constitutes unchristian behavior? Pot, kettle- ring a bell?

11lexie.bsky.social•41 days ago

Religious tests are not permitted by the government per the US Constitution

datthelake.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yes, it is unconstitutional but it goes both ways. All of those things could be reported on for any religion.

rationalpear.bsky.social•41 days ago

and power over other christians that espouse slightly different beliefs. the protestant reformation ushered in several centuries of christian vs christian violence and war.

bcisayso.bsky.social•41 days ago

FFS! When I was supporting Army SAP programs had an employee who locked down the SCIF conference room from 11-12 every day for Bible study. No one ever tried to interfere even though federal rules clearly state no religious or political activity allowed in federal buildings. This is performative BS.

scratch54.bsky.social•41 days ago

But, but, whose version of Christian? For many Christians evangelical 'christianity' is an anti-Christian bias.

kccab.bsky.social•41 days ago

I don’t get this … the entire MAGA agenda shows “anti-Christian bias”…

raisinmountaineer.bsky.social•41 days ago

Everybody gets Sunday off now!

mountainlyons.bsky.social•41 days ago

Snitch lines for the DOE, the OPM, ICE the VA - is oversight just going to be the mean girls hotlines in every department now?

nunyabitnez.bsky.social•41 days ago

#8?

mspena1300.bsky.social•41 days ago

The Christians are such snowflakes

snowmein.bsky.social•41 days ago

Which flavor of Christian gets to tell all the other Christians they will burn in hell?

leegoldstein.bsky.social•41 days ago

“This is dangerous and unconstitutional”

Pretty much my response every day to the craziness we are living through.

0lew.bsky.social•41 days ago

Such BS!

sandy2950.bsky.social•41 days ago

Exactly, this is just plain WRONG! UGH

I thought we were anti antisemitism, now we’re anti anti Christian?? I’m soooo confused. I need a “who to rat out “ flowchart. (Satire)
This administration is truly disgusting. ( not satire)

bambinamomma.bsky.social•41 days ago

But they are not to report anti-Muslim, anti-Jewish, anti-Hindu, anti-atheist, or other displays of bias against other groups? Sounds like someone should challenge the Constitutionality of this.

sagebird28.bsky.social•41 days ago

This behavior is driving many from the Christian church. If this is “Christian” I want no part of it.

orrisjd.bsky.social•41 days ago

Especially given how many of the MAGA adjacent Christians see being told "I am not interested in your religion, please leave me alone" as anti-Christian bias and outright hostility.

reggiebe.bsky.social•41 days ago

This is a hot potato guide.

jamesjamerson.bsky.social•41 days ago

Going after people because Jesus?
