One year after President Trump ordered a halt on former President Obama’s “war” on religious liberty, several Cabinet agencies have made significant changes opening the door for religious groups provide health, social service and educational benefits to nearly 14 million.

Under Obama-era rules many of the help groups were sidelined because their religious views clashed with liberal policies such as abortion, but Trump’s May 4 executive order to carve out a loophole for them has greatly expanded the benefits they provide.

According to a new report from the Family Research Council, Trump’s promotion of “religious liberty” has enabled charities and other groups to provide health care and social services to some 13.7 million people.

And, FRC added, the order helped at least 44 schools with 148,000 students to continue operating.

““Thanks to President Trump, over the last year we have witnessed nothing less than a revival of legal protections for religious freedom in America,” said FRC President Tony Perkins.

“It’s becoming clear that the domestic policies of our federal government have gone beyond an armistice agreement to dismantling the Obama administration anti-religious expression war machine and replacing it with policies and personnel committed to protecting and promoting our first freedom,” he added.

The FRC report cited several examples that have allowed groups that operate with a special moral or religious point of view to continue their work.

In the most well known example, Trump’s order allows religious groups like Little Sisters of the Poor who avoid the Obama-era “contraception mandate,” which required them to provide contraception as part of receiving federal aid for their health care work. The group opposed the mandate and abortion.

According to the FRC report, this has allowed 354 organizations and individuals affiliated with to continue providing health care and social welfare services.

The report, provided to Secrets, explains:

“A multitude of religious organizations, charities, schools, and other groups and individuals have been tied up in years of litigation against the Obama administration’s HHS contraceptive mandate that was issued following the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Despite the serious conscience concerns of these individuals and entities, the Obama administration refused to allow them to opt out of being forced to provide contraceptives and abortion-causing drugs and services against their beliefs. Only after President Trump issued the executive order, and HHS followed up by authorizing this exemption to the HHS contraception mandate, could these conscientious objectors rest a bit easier. While the exemption itself is still being challenged in court by activists who aren’t content to let the Little Sisters and others have their freedom, and the regulations authorizing the exemption are halted for now, those covered by the exemption and the people they serve can know HHS is working to ensure they are protected.”

Perkins said that he is hopeful that Trump’s support for religious liberty and expression will be followed around the globe and that the administration will also end the Obama-era’s demand that nation’s it supported close loopholes for religious groups and charities.

“The Obama administration replaced the promotion and protection of religious freedom with the strong-arming of countries to adopt their liberal social agendas. This rejection of religious freedom as a priority resulted in rampant persecution and genocide. Look for the Trump administration's policies protecting religious freedom both domestically and abroad to lead to increased international respect and protection of this fundamental human right,” said Perkins.
