The Rise of Anti-Christian Sentiment in Australia
Commentary
As the followers of Christ across the globe celebrate the death and resurrection of their Saviour over the Easter holiday, it might be appropriate for us to reflect on the role of Christianity (and Christians) in Australia’s society.
While the role of Christianity in Australia’s history is irrefutable, strangely, the ongoing decline of Christian morality is also irrefutable. Since our society is viewed largely as “secular” and “multicultural,” Christianity is, for the most part, never mentioned much less promoted in political and intellectual discourse.
When it is mentioned among the nation’s public figures, Christian values and traditions are often critiqued, ridiculed, and brushed aside with contempt. As a result, many Australians are now convinced that there should be no relationship between Christian values and the nation’s legal-institutional arrangements.
