Project Blitz is a playbook for the Christian Right: a package of 20 model bills included in a report assembled by a coalition of Christian Right group, as well as talking points and strategies for how to attain this legislative agenda. The bills range widely in content—from requiring public schools to display the national motto, “In God We Trust” (IGWT); to legalizing discrimination against LGBTQ people; to religious exemptions regarding women’s reproductive health. Project Blitz aims to undermine religious freedom for all Americans by promoting Christianity.
