A Trump commission urges bridge between church and state in sweeping draft report
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A draft report from a Trump administration commission advocates for a closer relationship between church and state, challenging the traditional separation concept. Released by the Religious Liberty Commission, the 224-page document emphasizes the need for greater religious expression in government and public life. It supports recent Supreme Court rulings favoring religious rights and suggests repealing the Johnson Amendment, which restricts political activities of tax-exempt religious organizations. The report also proposes compensating military personnel discharged for refusing COVID-19 vaccines and creating new honors for religious liberty. Public comments on the draft will be accepted for 15 days, with expected opposition from various groups.
