Leading Conservative Religious Organization Warns That Christians Will Soon Be Treated Like Blacks In Jim Crow EraBy Scott Keyes on Jan 2, 2013 at 1:34 pm
The American Family Association, a top conservative Christian organization, emailed members today with a dire warning that, within 50 years, Christians will be treated like African Americans during the Jim Crow era.
In an email entitled What will religion look like in the year 2060?, the AFA warned about the coming onslaught against Christians, who currently make up over three-quarters of Americans. The groups predictions include that Christians will be brutally discriminated against like blacks in the Civil Rights Era, government will take children from parents at birth, and any city with Saint or other loosely-religious name will be forced to change.
The full email:
What will religion look like in the year 2060?
Conservative Christians will be treated as second class citizens, much like African Americans were prior to civil rights legislation in the 1960s.
