Bold Christianity

Religious freedom serves as the backbone of a healthy society, because it ensures the upholding of morals. Meaning, morals come from somewhere, and that somewhere isn’t just mankind. What’s right and what’s wrong is decided by the Lord, and when a culture is allowed freedom of religion, Christianity is able to openly spread and influence the culture with a Biblical worldview.  The idea that we have personal rights and freedoms comes from God who has given us rights because we are made in His image. God blesses countries who acknowledge the Creator and allow citizens to worship Him. Thus, countries that live in line with Biblical morality are healthier and last longer.

When freedom of religion doesn’t exist, you end up with horrible tyrannical governments and systems such as communism or socialism. Abolishing religious freedom is often done to stifle Christianity, because Christians (and the truth of the gospel) are a hindrance to evil tyrants, power-hungry officials, and a populace desiring to live in its flesh.
