All over the West, there is a major assault on religious freedom. It takes many forms, and it is being driven by an aggressive secularism and leftism which will not rest until religion is driven from the public square altogether. And then private expressions of [...]

There’s a big mistake many secular people make about religious discrimination. It’s a mistake I’ve seen repeated many times. Even by (or especially by) educated secular commentators. This mistake is a fairly recent one. But it’s impact is serious: it’s corroding religious freedom in Australia. [...]

Why should our laws protect religious dissenters but not agnostic dissenters? Second, does it effectively [...]

Yet another Christian school being targeted by the rainbow warriors. I was worried there for a while. But then the homosexual activists in Australia told us in no uncertain terms that legalising homosexual marriage would have no negative effects on anyone. They insisted that nothing [...]
