How odd that you would bring up the Nazis- believers in the Greater Glory of Germany. They have much more in common with Christians than the "bashers of Christianity" do. Who exactly are the bashers of Christianity? They must be a pretty small crew- are they Unitarians? I am joining the Unitarian church I think (I know, I know, "Unitarian Church" is an oxymoron). But looking around the world for "Christian Bashers" I am wondering where to start. England has a National Church (I believe the C of E considers itself Christian- though you may not)- many other countries are Christian countries- most of Latin America can be considered Catholic(are they Christian?). Of course the Muslims are going to bash the Christians, but I don't see them taking control. The Hindus don't generally bash Christians but they won't be happy with the Muslims in the new world order. And I have no idea how the Buddhists will feel- they aren't really the type to seek World Domination. Shintoism can be a problem (or at least it has been in the past) but is fairly well confined geographically. Perhaps you mean the Russians and the Chinese? The Russians used to be orthodox Catholics- many still are. I believe the church is growing in Russia. I think even the Chinese are becoming interested in Christianity. I cannot believe you would compare the "anti- Christian" slant now with what faced the JEws during WWII. Every store this Christmas was full of Angels, and Creches, and all that is CHRISTmas. Every card store has boxes and boxes of Christian religious cards (I know this for sure because I buy them for my Aunts who are all Southern Baptists- and like to recieve Christmas cards as they wait for the Second Coming). All stores have religious themed ornaments (including Hallmark). Many lawns have manger scenes in their front yards. Christmas paraphanalia is everywhere. I do not believe Hannukkah has EVER had the same airplay as the Chistian Holiday, not now, not ever- and certainly not in the period around WWII when Jews were still regarded with much suspicion in this country by good WASPs.
