In a weird synchronicity, the world's major blocks are busy passing blasphemy laws. States comprising about half of India's population now have, or are considering, laws aimed at preventing "Hindus" (however ill-defined) from becoming Christian (or Muslim).
China has just passed new laws against blaspheming communist heroes, or questioning, say, Mao's bloody intervention in Korea. The state encourages free-lance bullies to tattle-tale on violators.
In the "free" West, meanwhile, laws, or customs, grow up to punish those who blaspheme against the Woke gods, on school or corporate campuses, on-line, or in Canada and some European countries, even from the pulpit. Islam doesn't need to pass any new blasphemy laws: they've been on the books for centuries.
Technology gives the bullies the tools to find blasphemers, and silence them. But a lot of the bullying is done the old-fashioned way: firing people, beating them, carting them off to jail.
The stereotype is quite correct: the most glaring personality trait of your average bully, especially in government, is cowardice. He cannot face opposing arguments, because he does not trust his ability to win in open debate. So shut them up! If I don't hear the evil words, my power will remain secure!
To all of these blocks. most emphatically including the West, Christianity remains an outsider and a threat. This is why they tell some of the same lies in school in America and China.
