FAITH: FBI’s hate crime statistics show the “War on Christianity” doesn’t exist.
March 4, 2015 by JT Eberhard Leave a Comment
We keep hearing there’s this war on Christianity. It turns out, surprise, there isn’t:

The right wing insists that there’s a war on Christianity. FBI hate crimes statistics tell a very different story, however. Far from being the victims of religiously motivated attacks, hate crimes against protestants are almost non-existent, while crimes against Jews, Muslims and people of other faiths occur much more frequently, with more violent consequences.

According to the most recent FBI hate crimes statistics (2013), most hate crimes in the United States are not religiously motivated. Almost half of all hate crimes committed in the US are racially motivated. Out of those, more than 66 percent were directed at black people. Another 11 plus percent of hate crimes are motivated by an ethnic bias, such as a bias toward Arab Americans or toward Hispanic citizens. Altogether, attacks against minorities constitute more than 77 percent of all hate crimes in the US.

…

Anti-gay violence is the second most commonly occurring type of hate crime in the United States. Contrary to the right wing narrative that Christians are under attack by the gays, the list of violent crimes committed against the LGBT community speaks for itself. Where are the incidents of gays attacking Christians? They do not exist.

But I keep hearing that the gaystapo will stop at nothing to imprison Christians in concentration camps, and Christians would never lie with Jesus watching and all.

And here’s what the religiously motivated hate crimes look like:

…about 17.4 percent of all hate crimes are religiously motivated.

Attacks against Jewish citizens are the most common religiously motivated attacks. Hate crimes against people of the Jewish faith constitute about 60 percent of all religiously motivated hate crimes in the US. Anti-Semitism is promoted and disseminated by right wing extremist groups such as the American Nazi Party, the KKK, the Christian Identity church, and a growing number of leadersin the mainstream conservative Christian community. Anti-Semitism is pushed by right wing conspiracy theorists, who claim a link between the ‘secret society of the Illuminati’ and the Jews. There are conspiracy theories about everything from the Jews and abortion to the Jews and Hollywood, ideas which are peddled by the likes of Alex Jones and Glen Beck. Many of these same groups spread the misinformation about minorities and members of the LGBT community, as well.

The second group that is attacked most often because of their faith includes people who practice the Islamic faith. 13 percent of all religiously motivated attacks are committed against Islamic citizens. That number is 5 times higher today than it was before 9/11.

But…I heard it was the Muslims taking over in America and that it was them perpetrating violence against Christians. You’re saying it’s the other way around, that when religiously motivated violence takes place in America it’s almost always Christians on the violent side? It’s like a strange new world where Fox News doesn’t tell the truth.

One would think this would be received as good news by Christians – there’s no war against them! They’re not persecuted! But the Fox News crowd seems to be so in love with the notion of being persecuted (while ignoring pretty much every group that really is persecuted), they’ll continue to dig for any reason (or non reason) to keep on making that claim.

Sometimes the stupidity on this message board gives me a headache. :snoop:


I am pretty sure that when people talk about a war on Christianity, they are probably referring to incidents like ISIS beheading 21 Egyptian Christians or Christian pastors like Saeed Abedini being imprisoned in Iran or Christian churches being bombed and blown up in places like Pakistan and India. Or maybe the fact that in countries like Saudi Arabia IT IS ILLEGAL TO BE A CHRISTIAN. There is a reason that the Christian population in the Middle East is decreasing at a rapid pace. I don't know about you but that sounds like a war on Christianity to me.

They're talking about a real war against christians worldwide(physical violence..not in the US). but in the US they are talking about a war on the christian belief/standards, ethics.

i dont know a single crazee right wing christian that says war on Christianity to mean Christians are being physically harmed. so whoever wrote this piece should be ashamed of this super reach. and i aint even a right winger. but i am a christian. war on christianity is changing the definition of marriage to mean between two people of the same sex. when we know the biblical version of marriage is the same definition that was on the books for the country/other states. prior to this recent push from the homosexual commuinty. Thats the WAR. The war on christianity is to have twerking become so pop culture to the point everyone thinks its ok(little girls included). War on christianity is when TV is so eager to show homosexuals(especially the extra flamboyant types) over a good wholesome person. and the wholesome person gets called a prude, white the homosexual is seen as entertaining and lively.

Those subtle shots at biblical ethics is a war too. it never has to get physical. Some preachers believe because of this politically correct thing and mix that in with the homosexual agenda. means one day soon a preacher will not be able to preach about how homosexual behavior is a sin or any other sexual behavior(sex before marriage, etc). This is what they call a war on christianity.
