A new study shows that Christianity is spreading fastest in countries where it experiences the most opposition.
The study published in the Sociology of Religion journal, reveals that Christianity spreads most successfully in nations that actively discriminate against the faith and persecute Christians.
The study shows the countries with the fastest growing Christian populations currently include Tanzania, Malawi, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Liberia.
Conversely, in places where Christians enjoy official support from national governments, religious faith tends to decline.
One of the study’s authors Rod Dreher, told FaithWire, in nations officially declared Christian, Christianity may become less about a convictional relationship with Jesus.
He says instead, faith tends to morph into being more about cultural tradition.
Mr Dreher says the report concludes Christianity flourishes best when untethered from politics while paradoxically, state favouritism of religion inadvertently suppresses it.
Sorry, no results.
