US Commission Cites European Christian Censorship in Religious Liberty Report

A White House Religious Liberty Commission draft report cites the criminal convictions of UK army veteran Adam Smith-Connor for silent prayer near an abortion clinic and Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen for expressing biblical views on marriage, warning of a growing censorship crisis in Europe. Scripture warns that in the last days believers will be hated and persecuted for the name of Christ and for holding to biblical truth, and these cases illustrate how Western nations are increasingly criminalizing Christian expression and prayer. This trend toward silencing believers reflects the broader end-times pattern of intensifying hostility toward faith even in historically Christian societies.
