Is religious freedom for Christians being oppressed?

1 Home Bible studies are now banned in the city of San

has held home Bible studies for years has already been fined twice and is being

threatened with even more fines.

#2 Paypal has initiated “formal investigations” of a large

was suspended for two days because he had private

conversations with his classmates during which he discussed

Christianity. He was also banned from bringing his Bible to school ever again.

love to mock Christians. For example, HBO “comedian” Bill Maher recently

headlines for weeks.
