"I am critical of the Hungarian approach singling out persecuted Christians only. I am a Christian and I want to see Christians protected, but the best way of securing freedom for Christians is making sure that everybody has freedom of religion or belief. Singling out Christians may have short term advantages but has long term negative consequences. This is not to say that advocating for your own brothers and sisters is wrong. This is not true. But to achieve results we need a broader perspective. …Hungary’s law requires an act of parliament for registering any new [religious] group, thus politicizing the issue."
