U.S. Anti-Christian Bigotry on the Rise

We all know that anti-Christian bigotry has been on the rise in the United States. A recent published report documents the assault on religious freedom.

The 140-page "Survey of Religious Hostility in America," prepared by the Liberty Institute and the Family Research Council, highlighted more than 600 examples illustrating what it characterized as religious animosity shown by judges, government bureaucrats, schools and secular groups. From ObamaCare mandates that force religious entities to pay for contraception, to children being punished for uttering prayers in school, the report's findings shocked even those who commissioned it.

“It’s a conflict of world views," Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council, told FoxNews.com. "These groups want people to check their faith at the door of the public square.


Of course, the atheist take issue with Christians who assert their First Amendment rights:

One critic said the report is guilty of blurring the line between attacking religion and upholding the Constitution. A.J. Johnson, development director of American Atheists, Inc., said no one condones hate crimes such as the FRC shooting. But many other examples cited are simply cases in which advocates called for the separation of church and state," Johnson said.

"The Family Research Council distorts court cases upholding the First Amendment as examples of "religious hostility," she said. "In reality, they are imposing their beliefs onto others and claiming to be victims of religious persecution when they do not get unique Christian privilege."


Of course these atheists have to distort the historical record, and this so-called doctrine of separation of church and state. The First Amendment was designed to put a limitation on the federal government; to ensure that the citizens and States would not be forced to support a particular denomination via taxation. But of course, this truth has been bastardized by the fascist.

If we don’t correct the historical record, we can expect more intolerance and religious bigotry. The atheist have the same totalitarian mindset as their brethren in Egypt.
