It's an opinion piece, and I disagree with it's opinions

quote:
Observing a similar phenomenon in the United States, McDermott stated that the "rise of all sorts of paganism is creating a false spirituality that proves to be a more dangerous rival to the Christian faith than atheism."


unless somehow I'm just reading bias into that quote from the article

Eh um. Articles. And if you do a search on Google you will find tons more sources reporting basically the same thing.

This news, btw, does not really surprise me at all, however, my jaw did drop when I first heard about this. Can anyone here guess why I reacted this way to this piece of news?

Only cultic Christians are arrogant, from which many non-Christians get their misconceptions about Christianity.
