It's literally everywhere you look - TV (dedicated channels), movies (seen what Kirk Cameron's been up to lately?), books (fiction and non-fiction, too many to list), Government (not only is the Prez an evangelical, but in order to get anywhere in the Republican party you have to pretend to be devout), hell, you can't even watch a NASCAR race without hearing the term "good Christian" every 5 minutes.


I would be shocked if there was no evidence of religion in our culture. Because religion is reflected in the things you mention doesn't mean there is no effort to suppress Christianity.

They're not. Giving the example of UNC forcing students to learn another religion was an illustration of the double standard applied to these situations. Regardless, there is certainly something wrong with such a practice.

I the end I have to say anyone who is non-Christian is probably laughing at the claims of those who say Christianity is being persecuted in the States today.


I had tried to make it clear that the persecution is coming from the left wing elites. It wouldn't surprise if they chuckled at the mention of their attempts.
