Changes

Since liberals and even many [[establishment]] "conservatives" consider theologically conservative and orthodox Christianity to be "outdated," "archaic," or "narrow-minded," they believe that wiping out biblical Christian beliefs will only enhance human progress and remove an obstacle to the betterment of humanity. Thus, despite the total lack of evidence, biblical Christian beliefs thought in love are increasingly considered "[[hate speech]]" or a "[[hate crime]]." Policies such as banning [[homeschooling]]; persecuting and marginalizing Christians who oppose abortion, homosexuality, and [[universalism]] (such as forcing Christians to pay for abortions or baking wedding cakes for homosexuals); and using every opportunity to teach evolution as fact flow from this worldview.
