Thanks to Rebecca Hagelin for exposing the truth suppressors. They are not content in suppressing the truth of God known to them by what He has made. Now even in America, founded by a covenant bearing witness to the truth, they want to suppress the witnesses of truth.
According to the hyper-secularists, the expression of religiously based views on social issues ends and hate speech begins at the church door exits.

But are there any bounds on the preachers of secularism? Are they restricted from the tax supported school systems? Or do they preach their doctrines contrary to home and church in the public schools? Do they restrict themselves from hate speech against the community of faith in the public square?
It is written of Jesus that they hated Him without cause, meaning that men are not justified in their hatred of Him. In John 15:25 Christ quotes Psalm 69:4…They hated Me without a cause.
He gives us truth on why the men of this world hate Him...
“The world…hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil” [John 7:7].
What better commentary is there on the real haters? Those who suppress the truth ‘are haters of God’ [Romans 1:30].
Christ said of His people that if they hated Him, they will also hate you…
“If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you” [John 15:19].
Shall the people of faith listen to the men of this world or to the Ruler of the Nations? What does it mean that the people of Christ are salt and light? They are salt and light in a world of sin and darkness.
Haters in the anti-Christian state and anti-Christian church crucified the Lord of glory. The world continues to hate and would crucify us because we testify of it that its works are evil.
