A lawsuit filed against President Donald Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission is accusing the panel of being too Christian. The Interfaith Alliance, Muslims for Progressive Values, the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund, and Hindus for Human Rights filed a lawsuit in federal court on Monday, complaining that the Religious Liberty Commission’s (RLC’s) makeup is discriminatory, featuring only Christians and one Orthodox Jewish rabbi.

“Since the nation’s earliest days, the values of religious liberty and pluralism have been central to the nation’s democratic experiment. When the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1788 it stated plainly a commitment to religious freedom and an opposition to the favoritism of one religious tradition or viewpoint by the government,” the lawsuit charges. “This case challenges the composition and secrecy of the Religious Liberty Commission. While this body is ostensibly designed to defend ‘religious liberty for all Americans’ and celebrate ‘religious pluralism’ it actually represents only a single ‘Judeo-Christian’ viewpoint.”

“All members of the Commission advocate for increased religiosity, and specifically their brand of ‘Judeo-Christian’ religiosity, in public life. The Commission’s members have promoted the primacy of a Judeo-Christian world view in the public sphere, advocated for discrimination against minority groups under the guise of ‘religious liberty,’ and otherwise supported policies that threaten religious freedom for all those who do not conform to their particular worldview,” the organizations allege. “The Commission’s mandate implicates core interests of a wide variety of religious groups from diverse religious backgrounds, including interfaith groups, who are dedicated to promoting an America where the freedom to believe and practice religion is protected for all, as well as minority religions unrepresented by the Commission, and groups who are not affiliated with any religion at all.”

Trump repeatedly pledged while campaigning to form a federal task force to investigate instances of anti-Christian bias in the government, singling out then-President Joe Biden’s weaponization of agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) against Christians. In order to further protect American Christians, he formed the RLC as a component of the Department of Justice (DOJ). “It shall be the policy of the executive branch to vigorously enforce the historic and robust protections for religious liberty enshrined in Federal law,” Trump announced in a May executive order. “The Founders envisioned a Nation in which religious voices and views are integral to a vibrant public square and human flourishing and in which religious people and institutions are free to practice their faith without fear of discrimination or hostility from the Government.”

The RLC is headed by the attorney general (Pam Bondi, in this instance), along with the secretary of Housing and Urban Development (Scott Turner) and the assistant to the president for Domestic Policy (Vince Haley), and its members currently include Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick (R) (chairman), renowned neurosurgeon and former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson (vice chair), Ethics and Public Policy Center President Ryan T. Anderson, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association President and CEO Franklin Graham, attorney Allyson Ho, psychologist and television personality Phil McGraw, author and speaker Eric Metaxas, First Liberty Institute CEO Kelly Shackleford, White House Faith Office advisor Paula White, Bishop Robert Barron of the Catholic Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota, recently-retired archbishop of the Archdiocese of New York Timothy Dolan, former model and Catholic convert Carrie Prejean Boller, and Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, director of the Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought at Yeshiva University.

The interfaith lawsuit accuses Trump and Bondi of having “established the Commission from a largely homogenous group, without … diverse perspectives. Instead, its members, consisting of almost exclusively Christians with one Orthodox Jewish Rabbi, represent the narrow perspective that America was founded as a ‘Judeo-Christian’ nation and must be guided by Biblical principles.” The lawsuit continues, “In President Trump’s own words, the Commission is part of his Administration’s efforts to ‘protect the Judeo-Christian principles of our founding.’ No members of the Commission represent other minority religions, such as Islam, Hinduism, or Sikhism, and none of the members on the Commission represent an interfaith organization, despite the Commission’s mandate to celebrate America’s history of religious pluralism.”

According to the lawsuit, the RLC has advanced an exclusively “Judeo-Christian” worldview, “disregarded basic transparency requirements,” and violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), a piece of legislation that the complainants argue was intended to “curb the Executive Branch’s reliance on superfluous, secretive, and biased ‘advisory committees’: ad hoc, non-federal bodies that counsel governmental decisionmakers on national policy.”

The lawsuit demands that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York block the RLC from publishing an expected report on the state of religious liberty, which the lawsuit says will be “secretive” and “unfairly imbalanced,” and to declare the organization unlawful, according to the interfaith group’s FACA theory.
