President Trump Receives Historic Blueprint To Put Religious Liberty Back On Offense
President Trump created the Religious Liberty Commission by executive order in May 2025. On June 26, 2026, that commission walked into the Oval Office and handed him the result of its work.
It is a 224-page draft report with teeth.
Chairman Dan Patrick, Vice Chairman Ben Carson, and other commission members delivered the report in person. The headline payoff is a 12-point action list aimed at putting faith and conscience back on solid legal footing across America.
The strongest part goes straight at one of the left’s favorite weapons.
The first recommendation calls for the Department of Justice to issue guidance clarifying the proper understanding of the Establishment Clause and the real meaning of “separation of church and state.”
For decades, that phrase has been twisted into a tool to push believers out of public life. The commission wants the DOJ to set the record straight on what the Constitution actually says.

The Department of Justice laid out how this report was built. The commission held seven hearings over the past year and took input from more than 100 witnesses of different ages, religions, and backgrounds.
Those hearings covered religious liberty in the military, in education, in healthcare, in the public and private sectors, in parental rights, in faith-based institutions, plus anti-Semitism and violence against houses of worship.
The report came from a year of testimony by Americans who say they were punished for their beliefs.
The DOJ release names real people who testified, including Navy SEAL Blake Martin, Dr. Eithan Haim, Shabbos Kestenbaum, Shea Encinas, Marisol Arroyo-Castro, and Lacey Smith, tying the recommendations to specific disputes in schools, medicine, the military, campuses, and the workplace.
That matters because the commission is not arguing from an abstract culture-war theory. It is pointing to schools, military chains of command, hospitals, campuses, and workplaces where religious Americans say they were pressured, punished, or pushed aside.
The DOJ two-page summary spells out the full 12 opportunities. Beyond the Establishment Clause guidance, the commission wants Know Your Rights posters from DOJ, HHS, and EEOC for students, parents, teachers, religious leaders, healthcare workers, and servicemembers so people know exactly what they are allowed to do.
It calls for written explanations within 30 days when a public official accuses someone under their supervision of improper religious expression. No more vague intimidation with no paper trail.
It calls for reporting hotlines and online portals so violations can actually be flagged, plus a DOJ religious-liberty task force to track and prioritize litigation.
It calls for federal judges willing to decide these cases on the merits, real enforcement of civil rights laws against anti-Semitism, protection for believers from government-led lawsuits aimed at their free exercise, and repeal of the Johnson Amendment.
It also targets the military directly. The commission wants Department of War reforms to streamline religious accommodation and continued efforts to restore retirement and re-enlistment eligibility for servicemembers who were harmed over COVID-19 vaccine objections rooted in faith.
And it recommends honoring the people who fought these fights, with a Presidential Medal of Religious Liberty and First Freedom Hero Awards.

The full draft is titled “America’s First Freedom” and was prepared under Executive Order 14291. The DOJ report arrives in America’s 250th year and runs through religion’s role in society, American history, faith-based institutions, schools, campuses, parents and teachers, the military, healthcare, vaccines, anti-Semitism, houses of worship, and the public and private sectors before landing on the recommendations.
This is a draft, and that part is honest. The report is open for public comment for 15 days before the final version is published.
So the document Americans see today is the working blueprint, not the last word. The final report will follow.
The full draft also includes a public-facing Know Your Rights FAQ and a detailed recommendation appendix. That turns the report from a statement of principles into something agencies, courts, schools, and citizens can actually use.
EWTN News reported on the Oval Office presentation and noted the commission was led by Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.
Bishop Robert Barron explained the commission’s job as advising the president on legislation, executive orders, or other moves to foster religious liberty.
EWTN flagged the same practical tools, including repealing the Johnson Amendment, building hotlines, distributing Know Your Rights posters, and creating religious freedom awards. Ryan Anderson was among the members helping deliver the recommendations inside the White House Oval Office.
That faith-news context helps show why this report has immediate stakes for churches, pastors, parents, students, religious nonprofits, and the believers who keep getting dragged into fights over speech, conscience, employment, education, and public service.
OSV News zeroed in on the Establishment Clause recommendation and covered the June 26 White House event.
That focus matters because the church-state fight is where a huge amount of the modern pressure campaign against believers begins. If federal officials treat every public expression of faith as a legal risk, schools, agencies, hospitals, and employers quickly learn to silence religious Americans before a dispute ever reaches court.
The commission wants the federal government on the side of believers instead of against them, starting with clearer DOJ guidance on what the Constitution actually requires.
In plain English, the report is trying to move the fight upstream before religious Americans are forced to spend years in court just to say what the First Amendment already protects.

The full presentation is also posted by the White House.
What President Trump received in the Oval Office is more than a stack of paper. It is a roadmap with names, mechanisms, and federal agencies attached to each item.
For years, people of faith were told to sit down, stay quiet, and keep their beliefs locked inside a building on Sunday.
This report does the opposite. It hands the government a list of concrete ways to defend the first freedom, and it puts the people who suffered under the old rules front and center.
The comment window is short, the final report is coming, and the direction is unmistakable.
