Christian Traditions: Christian

Christian Communities Dept: While many are aware that Christians and long-established Christian communities in various countries have been subjected to harassment, intimidation, rape, even death, they are less aware of situations where Christian traditions in countries nominally considered Christian are also facing challenges from various other groups in their own societies, according to Vancouver Sun. This growing movement opposed to the Christian religion having any intrinsic or unique right to have its traditions and sectarian manifestations granted special status within a given society was recently in evidence during the Christmas period in places like Canada and the United States, as well as in European countries that feel Christianity and its values are under attack by non-Christians and are Christians an endangered species, whose very existence is increasingly being undermined or threatened around the world? This includes those who favour more inclusive societies honouring diversity, plus secularists and atheists who question why Christians expect their religion to have a dominant role in a nation's culture based simply on how things were in the past.
