Christianity has been under attack in America for decades.
But it’s not just America where Christianity is under attack.
And what the British government did to an army veteran for praying in public should terrify Americans.
America is right smack dab in the middle of an intense culture war.
The radical Left is determined to erase the traditional values of individual liberty, free markets, and Constitutional government that made America a free and prosperous country.
They know they need to do away with religion in order to transform America into a woke socialist nation.
One part of their plan includes criminalizing Christianity.
They’ve been working to remove God from the public square, starting with banning prayer in schools to now trying to ban praying in public.
And the most terrifying part is they’ve already achieved this goal in Britain.
Smith-Connor is a British veteran who served 20 years in their army reserves.
But a court just found him guilty of praying silently outside of an abortion clinic.
He’s now facing nearly $12,000 in fines.
“The Bournemouth Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday found Adam Smith-Connor guilty of silent prayer stemming from a demonstration he conducted in Bournemouth in 2022,” Catholic News Agency reported.
According to Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), “the court sentenced Smith-Connor to a conditional discharge and ordered him to pay prosecution costs of £9,000.”
He will not be sentenced to any jail time unless “he is convicted of any future offenses in the next two years.”
It all started in November of 2022 when Smith-Connor traveled to an abortion clinic to pray for his unborn son who was murdered by an abortion he helped pay for more than two decades ago.
He was first fined for praying in public and then criminal charges were later added.
According to ADF, the court ruled that his actions showed “disapproval of abortion” because “at one point his head was seen slightly bowed and his hands were clasped.”
“Today, the court has decided that certain thoughts — silent thoughts — can be illegal in the United Kingdom,” the ADF wrote in a release. “That cannot be right.”
Smith-Connor said that “all I did was pray to God, in the privacy of my own mind — and yet I stand convicted as a criminal?”
He noted his 20 years of service to his country, “including a tour in Afghanistan to protect the fundamental freedoms that this country is built upon.”
“I continue that spirit of service as a health care professional and church volunteer,” he said. “It troubles me greatly to see our freedoms eroded to the extent that thought crimes are now being prosecuted in the U.K.”
Americans should take notice of what happened to Smith-Connor.
It’s what the Left has planned for America.
And the only way to stop it is for Christian conservatives to end their silence and speak out for freedom.
