Belief That Gov’t Is a Threat to Religious Rights Surges Under Biden, Surpassing Obama Era – By Craig Bannister (CNS News) / April 1, 2024
The belief that the federal government is a threat to Americans’ religious rights has surged under Pres. Biden, beyond that of both the Trump and Obama presidencies, a new national survey reveals.
A Rasmussen survey (conducted March 21, 24-25) finds that 56% of U.S. likely voters now say that the federal government poses a threat to religious rights, up from 38% in October of 2017 (under Trump) and 48% in July of 2014 (under Obama).
Today, more than twice as many voters consider the federal government a “threat,” instead of a “protector,” of religious rights (56% vs. 26%), the survey finds. The remaining 17% say they’re not sure.
The Biden Administration has been increasingly prompting concern regarding religious freedom, particularly within the Christian community. From sending a SWAT team brandishing weapons to arrest a pro-life activist, to classifying traditional Catholics as domestic terrorists, to insulting Christians by designating Easter Sunday “Transgender Day,” the Biden regime has consistently raised fears that it is attacking religious rights.
