I just got around to reading Will’s column. I think it provides a useful corrective and I agree with a lot of it. But I think Will also misses the mark in a couple spots. His evidence that religion is thriving in America — Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ,” the Left Behind books, etc — potent as it is, is not evidence that anti-Christian sentiment is declining. Indeed, it seems more logical to me that anti-Christian sentiment is rising precisely because Christians are asserting themselves more and that terrifies some people and annoys others.
