Fox News host Tucker Carlson decried the “educated” people who perpetuate “Christianphobia” — the fear of Christians — during Sunday’s “Fox & Friends.”
“It’s appalling and it’s, it’s super common among educated people,” Carlson said. “The people I live around, they all kind of have contempt for Christianity.”
Carlson, who graduated from Trinity College, then turned to his guest the Rev. Jonathan Morris who provided an analysis on the types of people who look down on Christianity, during a segment called “The Fight For Faith.”
“There is this Christianphobia in some elite sectors of our society,” Morris said. “One is in the news media, at some, to some extent. Number two in Hollywood. And number three, I think, and this is the most important and dangerous one, in academia.”
“Among some of the most educated there is this, I wouldn’t, you know, it’s not phobia, I don’t think,” Morris continued. “They call it ‘Christianphobia’, I think it’s more, it’s disdain. And almost embarrassment.”
Morris also provided an explanation for the “disdain” people have for Christianity.
“You know, ’cause it’s not cool,” Morris said. “It’s not cool to be a believing Christian. … It’s not cool. That’s the reason.”

‘Christianphobia’ huh? I see their wordsmith is on Sabbatical.
If only there was a vaccine for that.
I don’t hate Christians, I hate smug assholes who tell lies on TV for money.
I’m looking at you Tucker.
Riiiiight…it’s Christianity we have a problem with, because it couldn’t possibly be that we take issue with your behavior,not your religion. After all, you seem to be 100% incapable of differentiating the two when it comes to other religions, so why wouldn’t you project that onto the rest of us and assume we think of you the same way you think of Muslims?
And let’s just cut to the quick…there are two kinds of people in this country: those who fervently scream “Christian Nation Christian Nation Christian Nation!!!” with wild zealot-eyed looks on their faces and then there are the rest of us, who find their behavior and the damage it causes fucking terrifying.
If education causes Christianphobia, the cure must be ignorance, right? I mean I’m new to logic and stuff, but that seems to be what they are saying.
