In an interview with WBAP over the weekend, Dr. Robert Jeffress said it has been clear Joe Biden has become weak and aimless on First Amendment rights.<\/p>\n<p>The Pastor of First Baptist Dallas Church was asked to weigh in on a recent effort by the far-left to push a case through the court system, which aims to block religious schools from receiving federal funds. Biden\u2019s Department of Justice initially promised to \u201cvigorously\u201d defend the interests of religious liberty for Christian public colleges and universities.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffress criticized Biden for quickly caving to backlash from the radical left and amending the words \u201cvigorously\u201d and \u201cultimate objective\u201d from the court filing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden administration responded by saying we will \u2018vigorously\u2019 defend the religious exemption and they got such backlash from the LGBTQ community that they quickly revised their filing and removed their word vigorously,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe fact is they\u2019re not going to defend religious liberty at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2439289\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2439289\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2439289 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/GettyImages-1325477073-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Joe Biden in the Oval Office at the White House  in Washington, DC.

(Photo by Pete Marovich-Pool\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>During the interview, Jeffress also pointed out religiosity is central to America\u2019s founding and cited many quotes and documents used by the majority of our Founding Fathers that come straight from the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can be concluded that the Bible, perhaps more than the Constitution, is America\u2019s founding document,\u201d he expressed. \u201c\u2026So many of our ideas about freedom and governance come straight from the Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeffries also argued Biden has created a culture that is hostile to this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica is a Christian nation. You can\u2019t look at our history and deny that fact,\u201d he asserted. \u201cThe fact is, there are people not only trying to cancel that truth, they are trying to erase our history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeffries went on to mention he does not believe God wants Americans to put their heads in the sand and be unaware of how deeply the Biden administration is changing the nation\u2019s culture. He argued the nation is becoming \u201cmore ungodly\u201d every day in consideration to how quickly Biden has transformed America from the most pro-life nation under President Trump and has become the most pro-abortion leader in history.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden used to SUPPORT the Hyde Amendment, but this year, he let the radical left dictate his budget and excluded important Hyde protections that safeguard taxpayer dollars from funding abortions. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xTMcF1N9jl\">pic.twitter.com\/xTMcF1N9jl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (@RepDLesko) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepDLesko\/status\/1407028163482357768?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 21, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/lawmakers-demand-answers-after-joe-biden-bypasses-congress-to-bomb-middle-east\/\">Lawmakers Demand Answers After Joe Biden Bypasses Congress To Bomb Middle East<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior Pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress at the Southern Baptist megachurch First Baptist Dallas during a Celebrate Freedom Rally in Dallas.
