He's right in the sense that it is a historically Christian nation but the church-state separations written in law are sufficient to protect the interests of minority religious groups when and if cases come to court
If anything we've seen drastic expansions of religious freedoms over the past decade or so and the recent drawback comes not really from a religiously motivated basis for persecution but rather a politically oriented one
What we really need could be a new set of legislative proposals regarding what was, as I recall, a major driver of the Trumpist ideological wave to ensure similar protections of "historically precedented" political beliefs. Granted this is very hard to define and will take a lot of narrowing to understand properly and in actionable terms
The stuff where we had partisan agents getting people fired over mainline center right or center left belief or simply not allowing olds the kindness of aging with their beliefs intact---oftentimes at the urging of one state approved political party or another--- had to end one way or another and while I think Trump's gone too far in pursuing vengeance for those years to the point of comparison to waves of early modern political persecutions the underlying basis of the complaint is valid and still in play
