Who is a religious oppressor?

Professing Christian students on the University of California Davis (UC Davis) campus have been faced with a unique challenge. The school’s recent policy statement on religious discrimination clearly indicated that only those in “minority religious groups” can experience religious discrimination.

This opens the door for atheist or other professors to cause all kinds of problems for professing Christian students.  Because they are not in the religious minority, they could be treated badly because of their faith and technically not be “religiously discriminated” against. In response to a legal letter filed against the school, UC Davis officials temporarily removed the policy statement for further review, noting that if it is put forth again, it will be “appropriately revised” (OneNewsNow.com, February 17, 2011).

A policy about religious discrimination being possible only against minority religious groups in a nation that stands on roots of the Bible is both sobering and prophetic. God warned long ago that the continuing departure of the Israelite-descended nations from the way of God would result in nations who no longer understand the difference between right and wrong. In fact, they are prophesied to re-label good things as evil and evil things as good (Isaiah 5:20).
