Leading Conservative Religious Organization Warns That Christians Will Soon Be Treated Like Blacks In Jim Crow Era | ThinkProgress
The American Family Association, a top conservative Christian organization, emailed members today with a dire warning that, within 50 years, Christians will be treated like African Americans during the Jim Crow era.
In an email entitled What will religion look like in the year 2060?, the AFA warned about the coming onslaught against Christians, who currently make up over three-quarters of Americans. The groups predictions include that Christians will be brutally discriminated against like blacks in the Civil Rights Era, government will take children from parents at birth, and any city with Saint or other loosely-religious name will be forced to change.
What will religion look like in the year 2060?
Conservative Christians will be treated as second class citizens, much like African Americans were prior to civil rights legislation in the 1960s.
Family as we know it will be drastically changed with the state taking charge of the children beginning at birth.
-Marriage will include two, three, four or any number of participants. Marriage will not be important, with individuals moving in and out of a family group at will.
-Church-buildings will be little used, with many sold to secular buyers and the money received going to the government.
-Churches will not be allowed to discuss any political issues, even if it affects the church directly.
-Tax credit given to churches and non-profit organizations will cease.
-Christian broadcasting will be declared illegal based on the separation of church and state. The airwaves belong to the government, therefore they cannot be used for any religious purpose.
The AFAs ideas may be fringe, but their level of support is anything but. The group remains influential among both conservative grassroots and Republican politicians. The AFAs former leader was heavily courted in the 2012 Republican presidential primary, ultimately endorsing Newt Gingrich and helping dissuade concerns about his multiple marriages and past infidelities.

conservative christians. we have plenty of em on here talking about how witchcraft is real and how 90% of popular culture is infected with demons. frankly, that kind of anti-progressive thinking deserves to be awarded second class citizenship
