In April of 2021, the Biden Administration launched a globalist grant program to supplant religious practice and ensure "dissent from religious belief" within the "context of intersectional identities." The program, titled "DRL FY20 IRF Promoting and Defending Religious Freedom Inclusive of Atheist, Humanist, Non-Practicing and Non-Affiliated Individuals," has raised red flags among many conservatives for being "inclusive" of distinctly a-religious disciplines. Fifteen GOP members have written a letter to President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken regarding the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor’s grant program "promoting atheism and 'humanism.'' Republican Study Committee Chairman, Jim Banks, wrote in the letter that atheism, "is an integral part of the belief system of Marxism and communism" and that "Americans rightly discern this as a part of the broader effort on the part of Biden's administration to promote radical, progressive orthodoxy abroad." The letter continued with,"it is one thing for the Department to be tolerant and respectful of a wide range of belief systems" but "It is quite another for the United States government to work actively to empower atheists, humanists, non-practicing, and non-affiliated in public decision-making."
