Commission to investigate discrimination against Christians
from Christian Today:
A Christian charity has put together a panel of commissioners to investigate the nature and extent of discrimination against Christians in the UK.
The Commission of Inquiry is being launched by Voice for Justice UK (VfJ) after a survey of 1,500 Christians by the charity found that experiences of hostility and ridicule are widespread.
Well over half of respondents aged below 35 (61%) said they had experienced hostility and ridicule for discussing their beliefs.
Less than half overall (45%) felt able to express their views in the workplace, falling to below 35% among under-35s.
Only a fifth felt that discrimination against Christians was taken as seriously as other forms of discrimination.
Many respondents reported a lack of freedom of speech around LGBT issues. One person spoke of “bullying” by LGBT advocates, while another said their employer “has made it known that ‘misgendering a trans colleague’ is a sackable offence”.
A fed up teenager said: “The most painful and public experiences now seem to be related to LGBTQIA agendas. It is being forced down the throat of Christians who now have been consumed by fear and unable to say frankly ‘I don’t believe in this and I won’t endorse this’.”
