I think it's kind of nice that Christians don't have to be afraid to be Christian.
Luckily this has never happened in the last 2000 years in the western world.
Christians being afraid to be Christian.
Is that a theological statement?
OK dude, give me just one exaple of when a Christian could be afraid to be Christian in the western world since the second century.
Persecution against Christians took place in the Roman Empire at various times in the 1st-4th century, and in parts of Europe as late as the 10th century. And in the modern age, you have had the persecution of various Christian expressions, sects and religious orders by both 'Christian' and revolutionary/totalitarian regimes.
