Isn't it time to put an end to the persecution of Jesus and his followers? What have they ever done to deserve the constant suspicion, ridicule, and marginalization? Maybe now the United States government can finally find the courage to issue a warning to all those who seem to think there’s an open season on Christians. The move is necessary because the situation has reached a critical point. Enough is enough!

In a powerful and long-overdue move, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is stepping up to confront what too many have tried to deny for too long: anti-Christian bias is real, and it’s rampant in parts of our federal government. Under an executive order signed by former President Trump, the State Department is now requiring employees to report any instances of anti-Christian discrimination, past or present through an anonymous tip line.

This effort isn’t some fringe initiative. It’s a bold step to correct years of selective silence, to stand up for those who’ve quietly endured professional penalties and public scorn for no other reason than their faith in Jesus Christ.

America Was Built on Christian Values—It’s Time We Act Like It

Remember this: Judeo-Christian values formed the foundation of the United States. Our Constitution, our laws, and our moral framework owe their roots to biblical principles of justice, liberty, and human dignity. However, people increasingly treat the very faith that shaped this nation as an outdated inconvenience or, worse, a threat.

Much of the bias we’re seeing against Christians today isn’t just religious intolerance, it’s veiled hatred toward the very foundation of the United States. It’s a rejection of the nation’s moral compass. Attacks on Christianity are, in many ways, attacks on America itself.

Let’s face it, there is a political agenda afoot that targets the Religious Right, and the Religious Right is made up mostly of Christians.

Let’s not ignore the politics at play. For years now, Democrats and progressive activists have worked relentlessly to discredit the Religious Right not because they’re problematic, but because they’re powerful. The Religious Right is one of the largest and most reliable voting blocs in the country, and its values directly oppose the radical social agenda the Left is pushing.

The Left weakens one of the last pillars of moral clarity and civic responsibility by undermining Christians. That's why the Left is pushing Christian influence out of schools, government, and even the public square. And that’s why this executive order matters. It’s not just a policy shift; it’s a stand against a systematic attempt to erase faith from American life.

It’s not about dominance; it’s about fairness! To be clear, this initiative isn’t about turning the government into a church. The goal is to ensure Christians receive the same treatment as everyone else. It’s about ensuring that a federal employee can quote Scripture without fear, wear a cross without consequence, and speak openly about their values without being labeled a fanatic.

Critics claim these actions will create a “culture of fear.” But what about the culture of fear that already exists for Christians? What about the fear of ridiculing, marginalizing, or punishing Christians for simply practicing their faith?

This executive order gives people a voice. This executive order allows people to express their opinions anonymously, safely, and fairly. It’s about bringing light to a bias that’s too often brushed aside or laughed off.

Let’s ask the hard question: if the same hostility were directed at Muslims, Jews, or Sikhs, would anyone hesitate to call it out? Of course, the answer would be a resounding yes. But when it’s Christians, the response is usually silence or, worse, justification.

It’s this selective outrage that proves anti-Christian bias is not only real; it’s socially acceptable in elite circles. That must change!

Equal protection for all faiths can’t negate Christians, especially with estimates going upward to over 2.6 billion souls!

Ironically, the same groups that claim to champion religious freedom are the first to attack policies like this. The Interfaith Alliance, for instance, warns that the order could “weaponize” religious freedom. But the only thing being “weaponized” is the truth.

Protecting Christians doesn’t mean persecuting others. It involves ensuring equal opportunities for all. The department’s own notice is clear: all religious discrimination is unacceptable. This initiative simply ensures that Christians are no longer silently excluded from that protection.

What Secretary Rubio is doing is right. It’s not about division; it’s about dignity. It’s about restoring a sense of balance and justice to a federal system that has tolerated subtle hostility toward Christians for far too long.

This is not the time to retreat in embarrassment or stay quiet in the face of opposition. This is the moment to establish boundaries and declare, "No more." No more mocking Jesus. No more penalizing His followers. No more pretending that this bias doesn’t exist.

Christians are not second-class citizens. They helped build this country, and they still shape its future. They deserve the same protections and respect as everyone else. They have played a main role in the modern-day re-establishing of Israel and protecting the Jewish people when called upon.

Final Word: The root problem is not just bias against Christians, but rather a complete rejection of the great 'I AM' and His project, America.
