Is Christianity Dangerous?

Is Christianity dangerous? Even the question sounds absurd. After all, Christianity is about loving your neighbor, turning the other cheek, and showing mercy to your enemies. How could that be dangerous? And yet, in the last few years, there is a growing narrative that the western Christian traditions are not healthy for society. If you have lived more than a few decades, you’ve noticed this radical shift. And it has been shocking. After all, if Jesus taught mercy and love and consideration for our neighbors, how did Christianity turn into the enemy? According to this narrative, Christianity is not inclusive. Christianity is not compassionate. Christianity is not keeping up with the times, nor is it on the “right side of history.” The list goes on and on. And yet, Christian and biblical traditions have formed the backbone of much of Western civilization. So, what’s going on? Cultural shifts don’t happen overnight, and they don’t happen in a vacuum. There are reasons for the dramatic changes we’ve seen in society. And there is a reason why hating Christianity has become the latest fad. So, what are we supposed to think of this trend? Why is it happening? And more importantly, what can we do? You might be surprised by the answers.
