Faith returns to the public square during Trump’s second term, Christian leader says – Page 3

The faith leader said that the White House has not only been reacting to a growing interest in faith, but is also embracing it more publicly than prior administrations. He also stated that he sees a “huge difference” in the Trump administration’s approach to faith versus that of the Biden administration.

“When you look at the Biden administration, his final Easter celebration had a proclamation of ‘Transgender Day’ instead of an Easter proclamation,” De Gance noted, referring to former President Joe Biden‘s acknowledgment of Transgender Day of Visibility. In 2024, Easter Sunday fell on the same day.

“I think you had a last administration that was seen by a lot of people of faith as being actively hostile to faith, and now I think a view that there’s an openness and an interest by the current administration to more embrace faith in their work and in their actions,” De Gance added.
