Rainbow Ratings? Churches To Be Ranked By LGBT Activist Group

In an act that should alarm every freedom-loving Canadian, a government-funded LGBT activist organization has launched a campaign to create a blacklist of conservative churches and other religious communities that hold fast to biblical truths about sexuality. 

The group, Rainbow Faith and Freedom, claims their agenda is one of "inclusion" and "welcome." But make no mistake--this is not about inclusion. This is about control, coercion, and the outright marginalization of Christians who refuse to bow the knee to radical gender ideology.

This campaign, cloaked in the language of tolerance, is anything but tolerant. According to their own published manifesto, Rainbow Faith and Freedom is developing a "rating system" to measure how well churches and other religious groups "welcome" and "include" members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. That may sound harmless to some ears, but their own language reveals the true intent: to transform religious belief and eradicate what they deem "religious-based discrimination."

Translation: if your church preaches that God created male and female, upholds the biblical view of marriage as between one man and one woman, or teaches that sexual sin is real and destructive--then you're on the list. You are marked. You are targeted. And you are publicly shamed for your convictions.

Let's call this what it is: ideological blackmail.

And what's even more appalling is that this movement is being funded by the federal government--by your tax dollars. In 2022, Rainbow Faith and Freedom received $400,000 for a project aimed at "ending religious-based discrimination." In 2024, they received nearly half a million dollars more to go after faith-based senior care facilities. These are not random fringe grants--this is systematic funding for a targeted campaign to monitor, shame, and ultimately silence biblically faithful churches.

This is not only a dangerous breach of religious freedom; it is a direct violation of the Charter rights that every Canadian should hold dear. It's no longer enough for radical activists to be accepted--they now demand that every belief system be conformed to their ideology. This is tyranny dressed in rainbow robes.

Let's be absolutely clear: Bible-believing Christians do not hate anyone. We preach the truth in love. We serve the poor, feed the hungry, house the homeless, and care for the sick. The Christian church has been one of the greatest forces for compassion and mercy the world has ever known. It was Christians who built the hospitals. Christians who fought for the abolition of slavery. Christians who opened their arms to the orphan and the widow. And today, it is Christians--often quietly and without fanfare--who operate food banks, shelters, and crisis centers across Canada.

Yet now, according to a government-funded activist group, these very churches are being recast as the problem.

We are witnessing a turning point in Canadian history. This is not just an assault on "religious conservatives"--it's an assault on Christianity itself. The ultimate goal is not merely to monitor us, but to muzzle us. Not to include us, but to erase us. If Rainbow Faith and Freedom truly cared about inclusion, they would respect the diversity of religious belief in Canada instead of trying to steamroll it with a narrow ideological agenda.

But it doesn't stop there. As LifeSiteNews has reported, the previous Trudeau government attempted advancing legislation that would strip pro-life and faith-based charities of their charitable status. One recommendation aimed to remove the long-standing legal recognition of "advancement of religion" as a legitimate charitable purpose. That means churches could lose their tax-exempt status simply for being churches.  It is unclear if new Prime Minister Mark Carney will pursue the same agenda.

And why? Because we refuse to perform abortions? Because we won't place children in same-sex households through our adoption ministries? Because we still believe the Bible is true?

These proposals echo the warning issued years ago by theologian Francis Schaeffer: that the most dangerous threat to the church is not from bombs or bullets, but from the quiet, bureaucratic stripping away of our freedom to speak, to serve, and to stand on the Word of God.

Canadian Christians must wake up. This is not a drill. This is not a debate about theology or philosophy. This is about whether we are free to worship God without government intimidation. Whether we are free to believe what Scripture teaches without being added to a blacklist. Whether we are free to operate ministries without being punished for our convictions.

This is a defining moment for the church in Canada.
