New Report Focuses on Hostility Toward Christians in U.S.

A new report issued by the Family Research Council and Liberty Institute highlights a pattern of hostility toward Christianity in the United States. As reported by The Christian Post, the report lists more than 600 incidents of hostile acts toward Christians over the past 10 years, including those occurring in public schools, city forums, and federal government events. The findings in the report were presented during a press conference in Tampa, Florida preceding the Republican Party Convention platform committee.

Kelly Shackleford, president of Liberty Institute, commented, “America today would be unrecognizable to our Founders. Our First Liberty is facing a relentless onslaught from well-funded and aggressive groups and individuals who are using the courts, Congress, and the vast federal bureaucracy to suppress and limit religious freedom. This radicalized minority is driven by an anti-religious ideology that is turning the First Amendment upside down.”
