The CFC investigated Speaker Johnson’s historic ties to Christian Nationalism. After he refused to sit down for a discussion about safeguarding religious freedom and other constitutional rights, the CFC released a white paper documenting his alarming record on church-state issues and outlining questions about his intentions as Speaker.

For a decade, Members of the CFC have been pushing to increase representation for all religious and nonreligious communities in the People’s House. As part of this effort, the CFC advocated for the Chaplain to invite the first-ever nontheistic guest chaplain to deliver an invocation before the House of Representatives and filed an amicus brief to protest the exclusion of a nontheistic guest chaplain.

CFC leads an effort to urge Treasury and the IRS to review the tax status of the Family Research Council (FRC) and other political organizations that may be falsely claiming church status to shield themselves tax transparency requirements.
