Voters Perceive 'Anti-Christian Bias' as a Signal of Racial Issues Beyond Religion

A 2024 investigation explored voter interpretations of claims regarding discrimination against Christians. President Trump and his allies have leveraged these allegations to galvanize support, asserting that current policies undermine Christians' rights. Critics argue that, as the majority religion, Christians enjoy privileges, with only a small percentage experiencing hate crimes. The research demonstrated a correlation between perceptions of anti-Christian bias and racial attitudes, suggesting that these claims may reinforce White solidarity. This intertwining of race and religion reflects shifting demographics and cultural tensions in contemporary America.
