川普放宽执行对宗教团体从事政治活动的禁令

President Donald Trump has loosened the government's enforcement of a rule that bars tax-exempt churches from participating in political activity.

Trump signed an executive order Thursday that gives "maximum enforcement discretion" to the country's tax agency, the Internal Revenue Service, in tracking the ban on political activity by religious groups, an edict that already is rarely enforced.

Trump's order also gives "regulatory relief" to conservative religious groups that object to provisions of the national health care reforms advocated by former President Barack Obama that required them to pay for health insurance plans that cover birth control and other measures that they feel go against their religious beliefs.

Trump signed the order on religious liberties as he greeted Christian conservatives at the White House on what was designated as the National Day of Prayer.

美国总统川普放宽了政府对禁止免税宗教团体参与政治活动的规定的执法力度。

星期四，川普签署了一道行政命令，给予美国国税局在审查有关禁令的执行情况时以“最高的执法斟酌权”，这个禁令本来就很少执行。

川普的行政命令还允许反对前总统奥巴马健保改革相关条款的保守宗教团体免受健保法令的约束。相关条款要求这些宗教团体为计划生育等他们认为违反其宗教信仰的健康保险买单。

在被确定为全国祈祷日的这一天，川普在白宫接见了基督教保守派人士，并签署了这道涉及宗教自由的行政命令。
