Conservatives say it’s “woefully inadequate.”

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on religious liberty this morning. The order, titled “Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty,” allows churches to speak about politics from the pulpit while keeping their tax-exempt status and it provides regulatory relief for ordinary Americans who don’t subscribe to gender ideology or believe in same-sex “marriage.”

However, religious liberty advocates say it does not go nearly far enough.

The Order was signed in the White House Rose Garden on the National Day of Prayer.

“Today my administration is leading by example as we take historic steps to protect religious liberty in the United States of America,” said President Trump during his speech.

“We will not allow people of faith to be targeted, bullied, or silenced anymore. And we will never ever stand for religious discrimination. Never ever,” he said.
