Violence and discrimination against Christians and other believers in Europe have increased in recent decades. In 2023, 2,444 anti-Christian hate crimes were identified in 35 European countries, including 232 personal attacks on Christians. A secular, wokeist agenda supported by highly influential lobby groups is part of the explanation.
This is the conclusion of the annual report by the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe), published today in Vienna.
The report also reveals that many Christians in Europe are facing discrimination and social hostilities at their workplace. At least 56 per cent of Christians in the UK experience some hostility and ridicule; 18 per cent are treated in a discriminating way, found a recent survey.
"The space for Christians in Europe is shrinking’, according to Anja Hoffmann (31), the think tank's executive director. "And I am very concerned that this increasingly leads to self-censorship among Christians.
