Donald Trump has made it clear that his faith is a priority during his second term as president. He recently signed an executive order to open a Faith Office at the White House, headed by televangelist Paula White, who he refers to as his spiritual advisor. This move comes just one day after Trump announced a task force led by Attorney General Pam Bondi aimed at fighting what he perceives as persecution of Christians in America. The Republican has also appointed several cabinet members with ties to Christian nationalism, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. These moves are worrying for many who see them as further evidence that Trump is pandering to a narrow conservative agenda. They raise concerns about the separation of church and state, particularly when officials hold such close connections to faith-based organizations.
