Sharp Increase in Attacks on Christian Churches in the United States

Report: U.S. Sees Spike in Attacks on Christian Churches 🔗

The U.S. has experienced a significant rise in attacks on Christian churches over the past five years according to a report.

The report by the Family Research Council reveals a sharp increase in attacks on Christian churches in the United States over the past five years. The incidents, including vandalism, arson, gun-related incidents, and bomb threats, have more than doubled since 2022 and are indicative of a cultural shift towards hostility against Christianity. Church buildings are targeted due to their symbolic representation of core Christian beliefs, and the attacks are not localized to specific regions but have occurred in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The report also highlights that the actual number of such acts is likely much higher than what is reflected in the report, as many incidents go unreported.
