Religious freedom is under attack by political correctness

Statement of Faith: I am a Christian and I believe in God. I believe in Christ and the Bible. As you may know, most of America's founding fathers publicly proclaimed their Christian faith. I am not shy about expressing my belief in God either. I was raised in a family that was Protestant Christian. In our country, political correctness has taken over and become a means of division that plagues every aspect of our lives. As Americans, we have been taught to "walk on eggshells" and be afraid of "offending" someone all in the name of political correctness. Our religious freedom is under attack by political correctness. Those that claim to have been bullied in the past have become the bullies. In my opinion, political correctness will be the death of our great nation.
