Anti-Christian sentiment

Uncommon card · No. 166130

Anti-Christian sentiment is the opposition to or hostility toward Christianity or Christian values. The presence of anti-Christian sentiment has led to the persecution of Christians throughout history. Christianophobia or Christophobia are terms also used to describe anti-Christian sentiment. In January 2026, the European Parliament recognized the term "Christianophobia" for the first time in an annual human rights and democracy resolution. Lawmakers highlighted an institutional imbalance, noting that while the EU Commission has an appointed coordinator to combat Islamophobia, no equivalent exists for Christianophobia.
