America Puts Christians in the Closet
Members of Congress who spoke on the first day of the Values Voters Summit in Washington, D.C., highlighted the concerns of many that Christians are being told to keep their faith to themselves in America.
Republican Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma spoke to those gathered at the Family Research Council event about the purported dangers to religious liberty in the United States.
"We have a culture that has become afraid of faith. I'm not sure how it happened, but it most certainly has happened," said Sen. Lankford.
"We have a culture that would say it's okay for you to be able to have faith as long as it is over there and we can't see it. Just keep it out of sight. But if you bring it out to where we can see it, it makes us uncomfortable so you need to put your faith over there."
Lankford went on to warn that when Americans "pull back on religious liberty, so does the rest of the world."
