Christian Pro-Hate Group Creates ‘Bigotry Map’ Of Supposed ‘Anti-Christian’ Organizations

A certified anti-gay hate group is lashing out by creating a map of atheist, humanist, LGBT, and “anti-Christian” groups.

The American Family Association continues to object to the Southern Poverty Law Center adding them to its list of anti-gay hate groups. Despite wearing the label as badge of honor, the AFA often mischaracterizes the attribution, falsely claiming the SPLC included them because of their Christian beliefs in going to “church on Sundays,” “intact families,” “free speech,” “freedom of religion” and “belief in Jesus Christ.” 

Last month the American Family Association was forced to remove Bryan Fischer as its official spokesperson, over comments he has made for years claiming gays are Nazis, and other similar claims. That came immediately before the AFA sponsored a trip to Israel for about 60 GOP lawmakers and Republican leaders, despite a long anti-Semitic streak displayed by AFA founder Don Wildmon, and Fischer.

Now, the AFA is fighting back. They’ve created a Bigotry Map highlighting groups that advocate for the “homosexual agenda,” along with “atheist,” “anti-Christian,” and “Humanist” categories.

Among the national groups listed are the Human Rights Campaign, GLSEN, the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and of course, the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Claiming these are “groups and organizations that openly display bigotry toward the Christian faith,” and “are deeply intolerant towards the Christian religion,” the Bigotry Map claims the groups’ “objectives are to silence Christians and to remove all public displays of Christian heritage and faith in America.”

“A common practice of these groups is threatening our nation’s schools, cities and states. By threat of lawsuit, they demand prayer removed from schools and city council meetings, Ten Commandments monuments stricken from courthouses and memorial crosses purged from cemeteries and parks.”

Of course, those lawsuits are almost always successful because of the First Amendment and our nation’s devotion to the idea of separation between church and state.

“Because of anti-Christian bigotry, private business owners have been sued and forced to close their business,” the AFA claims, without naming one. Exactly which private business owners have been “forced to close their business”? 

“Some members or supporters of these groups have committed violent crimes against Christians and faith-based groups,” the AFA claims. Aside from one who attacked the Family Research Council headquarters, exactly whom else? 

The map actually has few organizations on it, mostly local branches of the above mentioned groups, proving that the persecution the American Family Association claims is mostly non-existent.
