Stanley Kurtz, an editor at the National Review, complains that “blue-state anti-Christian bias is a menace to the nation”.
Bill O’Reilly whines on Fox News that “anti-Christian bias in this country is off the chart”.
Congressman Tom Delay said in a speech in the House of Representatives, “Mr. Speaker, there are some in this Chamber who believe that Christians, like well-behaved children,should be seen and not heard.”
So, is it true? Is there a pervasive anti-Christian bias in America? Well, a good place to test this claim is in the United States Congress, which more accurately reflects the state of the American nation than any other political body. Here’s the makeup of the current members of Congress, as reported by Congress.org:
464 Christians
37 Jewish
15 Mormons
5 Christian Scientists
3 Unitarians
2 Latter Day Saints
12 not stated
1 not affiliated
Where is that anti-Christian bias?
