Hmm… this was definitely an interesting piece. For the first time in our nation’s history there are more people living in cities than in rural areas, and with cities and urban centers comes liberalism. So with that I feel yes the country is becoming more secular. However, is it fair to blame our politicians for not supporting one faith over other faiths or views, or even to say that being a christian and a conservative is used by the liberals as a negative? A politician can never really support a faith but must show the people that church and state are separate. Likewise was it not Regan who made christianity completely associated with conservatives? If he was able to use it and state that the two were one why can’t liberals do the same?
Maybe I’m playing right into what Fox News wanted to portray, but I think Americans as a whole, Christian or not, embrace doubt – probably having to do with postmodern beliefs that you can’t really know anything for sure. Being so, “Anyone who takes a stance on something can’t be right, because there’s always an exception to the rule,” or because “There’s no way you can know for sure if that’s the right stance.” Being so, the people that poke holes and flip the bill on modern day issues are the heroes of the present.
The media feeds off anything that is popular – to get higher ratings. So it makes sense that they would jump at an issue like Christianity – because who can resist a story that makes you question something you’ve assumed to be true all your life (especially because the belief in of itself rejects the possibility of there being “other ways”)? And regardless of your actual religion, it’s so well known in the US, even culturally, that you’ll almost always get a double take from the majority of viewers/readers; which means more ratings.
Pretty much building off what Jiggidy said, politicians use issues and verbiage to get support from certain groups. The Christian right is a pretty big group – but maybe you can get even farther in our society by a managing a smörgåsbord of views, pulling people in without turning people off.
I think there is a growing bias against Christians, but mostly because of extremism. The super religious that turn people off by not being palpable at all, and then those who don’t take it seriously and fade into society, not really showing or making any difference.
I agree that there is a growing bias against Christians not only because of the extremist but because of the people who call themselves Christians but are only Sunday Christians
I totally agree wit dis, but nay I add many christians are afraid to step out, and proclaim their faith in the public, and the majority of them don’t bring Jesus into most conversations at work or with peers because thier ashamed of wat they think…
