Christian Ghettoization in the United States
We posted recently a piece on the trials of a Christian man in the UK who has been ruled unfit to engage in social work because of his "offensive" Christian beliefs. It raises the threat of what we are calling "ghettoization"--that is, creating second or third class citizens who face discrimination because of their beliefs.
It is not just in the UK that this is occurring. There are now plenty of instances and examples in the United States. Rod Dreher exposes what is now happening in the "land of the free".
We may not (yet) be at the point where Christians are forbidden to buy and sell in general without state approval, but we are on the brink of entire areas of commercial and professional life being off-limits to believers whose consciences will not allow them to burn incense to the gods of our age.
The workplace is getting tougher for orthodox believers as American commitment to religious liberty weakens. Progressives sneer at the claims of anti-Christian discrimination or persecution. Don't you believe them. Most of the experts I talked to on this topic spoke only after I promised to withhold their identities. They're frightened that their words today might cost them their careers tomorrow.
