An anecdote is not evidence of a culture of cancelling.
I thought that the article being from this morning would say enough, but I mean... https://www.christianpost.com/news/436-acts-of-hostility-against-us-churches-documented-in-2023.html
Nobody would fuck with churches if churches stayed quiet and stopped trying to impose their morality on the rest of us. Because of religion we are losing fundamental human rights. I'd be pissed too.
Ok, you are entitled to your opinion, but the claim was that Christian churches and Christian church goers weren't being targeted or "demonized," which I've shown is false. Both with an example from yesterday morning, and an aggregate data set which shows some level of significance. Now, whether you want to argue if it is deserved, or proportional, or whatever else is up to you and your morals. However, the original claim that Christians are not the target of harassment because of their religious affiliation is simply not true.
