The Real War on Christmas

National Review looks at the Real War on Christmas. Nina Shea looks at countries where Christians really are persecuted rather than talking about the absurd War on Christmas in the United States discussed by many right wingers recently.

Religious persecution is reviewed in many countries. There is one common trend–these countries fail to support separation of church and state. This is something which current Republicans who oppose this important principle should keep in mind. Support for separation of church and state is not an anti-religious position. It is a position necessary to guarantee that all people will remain free to practice (or not practice) the religion of their choice.
