"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.'”

"Instead, this order aligns the federal government with Christian Nationalism, a dangerous conflation of fundamentalist Christianity, conservative politics, and fierce patriotism that distorts what it means to be an American citizen and an engaged Christian in society."

"While some might think that all Christians would support an effort to root out 'anti-Christian bias,' that’s not the case. We believe this executive order is a threat to the religious pluralism enshrined in the Constitution and does not actually protect Christians."

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.'"
