Executive Order
Summary
Establishes Religious Liberty Commission to study & protect religious freedom, identify threats, advise White House, and recommend actions against perceived government infringements on faith-based entities, schools, & individuals. This EO creates a commission to energize a political base by framing religious liberty as under attack, particularly addressing conservative concerns (schools, conscience, public displays). It risks prioritizing specific faith interpretations, potentially neglecting the diverse landscape of beliefs and non-beliefs, and might serve more as a platform for political messaging than genuine, inclusive protection of all Americans' freedom of conscience.
