China is stripping crosses from Christian churches

A Communist party campaign during which crosses have been stripped from the roofs of more than 1,200 Chinese churches is being conducted “for the sake of safety and beauty”, a government official has claimed. Human rights activists accuse authorities in Zhejiang province in eastern China of using the protracted campaign to slow Christianity’s growth in what is one of the country’s most churchgoing regions.

Religion and an communist state do not comfortably coexist.

I try to explain that to my kids, so they can relay it to their liberal friends. I doubt I'm making any progress, but there will come a day that they will remember what I've been saying to them.
