On day one, the Biden administration should immediately direct federal agencies to revoke the Trump regulations that have expanded religious discrimination against taxpayer-funded employees.

President-elect Joe Biden must take immediate action to restore the real meaning of religious freedom and right past wrongs. Biden can start by signing an executive order that lays out his blueprint for each government agency to respect the Constitution’s promise of religious freedom.

During the 1990s, the federal government and many states began aggressively promoting the idea that religious groups, backed by taxpayer funding, could serve as agents of the government in tackling various social problems such as poverty, substance use disorders, homelessness, chronic unemployment and others.
