Establishment of the Religious Liberty Commission

On May 1, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish the Religious Liberty Commission, aimed at strengthening the protection of religious freedoms in the United States. The commission, comprising up to 14 members from various sectors, will investigate current threats to religious liberty, advise on policy, and produce a comprehensive report by July 4, 2026. This action could stir political debate, as it emphasizes religious freedom in the public sphere, potentially impacting how religious institutions interact with government policies and civil rights issues.
