Charles Haynes on the "War on Christians"
Charles Haynes, senior scholar at the First Amendment Center, has written an insightful piece about “The Real War on Christians.” The war is real elsewhere in the world, where actual persecution exists, in stark contrast to the persecution complex here. Haynes points out that “Christians in America never had it so good:”
Where else on Earth do Christians have more freedom to evangelize, organize, publish and worship – all without government interference?What really bothers some American evangelicals is not the lack of freedom — it’s the loss of monopoly. Many of the conflicts in the so-called “war on Christians” appear to be about restoring the “good old days” when Protestant Christianity was semi-established as the national religion. [emphasis added]
Those are the facts which all the “war on Christianity” fantasies will never address.
