That was just anti-Biden shit that they dressed up as a new "religious belief", and since they call themselves Christian, they decided vaccines were therefore anti-Christian.
Cornerstone Church? Hmm, I wonder why it seemed they were breaking the rule about endorsing or opposing political candidates:
San Antonio’s Cornerstone Church attempts to further distance itself from extreme right-wing rally
The Reawaken America Tour appeared in San Antonio at the church, which was roundly criticized by many religious leaders after video showed the crowd chanting “Let’s Go Brandon” a euphemism for an insult against President Joe Biden. After an attempt to distance themselves from the event, another video surfaced of Pastor Matt Hagee, John Hagee’s son, welcoming the crowd and congratulating them for attending.
...
The conference took place on Nov. 11-13, and speakers included former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn, Trump political consultant Roger Stone and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell. All three are well-known conspiracy theorists.
They railed against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and election fraud, and Flynn was caught on video calling for “one religion” in the United States.
Critics, including religious leaders, have condemned organizers for holding the political event in a religious setting.
Oklahoma Pastor Jeremy Coleman shared his thoughts on TikTok:
“Look, if you're going to be a white nationalist cult rally, just say that if you're going to be a bigoted political rally, just say that, but don't call yourself a church. Churches are meant to be places of unconditional love for your neighbor. That means your Republican neighbor, your Democrat neighbor, your gay neighbor, your straight neighbor, your Black neighbor, your white neighbor, your American neighbor, your immigrant neighbor,” Coleman said.

The U.S. Department of Education is fining Liberty University $14 million, the largest penalty on record, for failing to comply with a federal campus crime-reporting law.
Department officials announced the settlement Tuesday. It came after a lengthy investigation that found numerous violations of the Clery Act, a federal law that requires colleges to record, and warn their communities about, campus crimes and dangerous situations.
The department's findings are detailed in a more than 100-page report, which describes how, from 2016 to 2023, the Christian university in Lynchburg, Va., demonstrated "serious, persistent, and systemic violations." The report says the college discouraged students from reporting crimes, did not adequately respond to incidents of sexual violence, failed to tell the campus about criminal activities or dangerous situations (such as gas leaks), and did not maintain an accurate or complete list of crimes.
