As Easter draws near—a time when Christians celebrate hope, renewal, and the promise of freedom—many Americans are reflecting on the state of faith and liberty under the Biden administration. For those who cherish the nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage, the last several years have felt like a relentless assault on their values and rights. The Biden White House and its agencies have been accused of systematically targeting Christians, especially those who stand for life and traditional values, leaving many to wonder if their government still respects the very freedoms upon which this country was founded.
The evidence of this hostility is hard to ignore. Under President Biden, the Department of Justice aggressively prosecuted peaceful pro-life activists, including elderly grandmothers and priests, for praying outside abortion clinics, while largely ignoring a wave of violence and vandalism against churches and pro-life centers. The infamous FACE Act, intended to protect access to clinics and places of worship, was wielded as a weapon against pro-life Christians, while attacks on their institutions went unpunished. Even more chilling, the FBI issued a memorandum labeling “radical-traditionalist” Catholics as potential domestic terrorists and suggested infiltrating churches—a move that smacks of the worst abuses of government power.
This climate of suspicion and intimidation reached a new low when the Biden administration declared Easter Sunday in 2024 as “Transgender Day of Visibility,” a move seen by many as a deliberate affront to the nation’s Christian majority. Federal agencies pushed policies that forced Christians to affirm radical gender ideology, threatened faith-based organizations’ ability to serve, and sought to roll back religious liberty protections on college campuses and in the foster care system. The message was clear: traditional faith had no place in the public square unless it bowed to the new orthodoxy.
Yet, despite these challenges, there is a growing sense of resilience and unity among America’s faithful. Surveys show that support for religious liberty is not only holding steady but rising, with more Americans insisting on their right to live out and express their beliefs without government interference. The backlash against Biden-era overreach has sparked a renewed movement to defend the First Amendment, culminating in executive actions and legislative efforts to root out anti-Christian bias from the federal bureaucracy and restore justice for those wrongfully targeted.
As the nation prepares to celebrate Easter, the season’s message of hope and resurrection resonates more powerfully than ever. Christians across the country are reclaiming their place in the public square, determined to ensure that faith and freedom remain at the heart of the American experience. The lesson is unmistakable: no administration, no matter how hostile, can extinguish the light of faith or the spirit of a people committed to liberty. This Easter, Americans are reminded that their rights come not from government, but from God, and they are worth defending at any cost.
