"[The] idea of sharing the gospel with Muslims simply will not work. (1) Islam is famously strict against apostasy, and Christians influence very few from their side in any case. (2) Muslim theology is much more efficient at gaining converts. Thatâs why theyâre the fastest-growing religion, remember? More Christians turn Muslim than vice versa. (3) Christianity canât even hang onto the people they already have. Religion is not the same thing as âraceâ. You canât change your ancestors, but you can discard their traditions. Even if Christians did out-reproduce Muslims, statistics indicate that less than half of those kids would still be Christian by the time they grew up. A few might adopt some other religion; most of the rest will likely reject all religions, and that trend is rising. Therein lies the answer. You canât fight religion with religion. Everything Christians do trying to fuse church and state, all the power they give to their own faith, âwill be used to pave the way for the next dominant dogma. Every time any religion has had power to enforce their own laws, the result has invariably been a violation of human rights. The only answer âand the founding fathers said this from the beginning- is a secular government with a âwall of separationâ between church and state. Maintain that and you might keep mosque and state separate too."
