An issue that every Christian should be aware of is the need for our society to be accepting of people of all faiths and of none. \u00a0In many parts of the West today (including the UK) many Christians would also consider hiding their religious identity. \u00a0This is an interesting article to read as we consider how we can show a form of solidarity (without compromising our beliefs) with those from diverse backgrounds:<\/p>\n

Today, there are approximately 3 million Muslims and 5 million Jews living in the US and both Muslims and Jews continue to face significant discrimination. Hannah Rosenthal, President Obama\u2019s Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, recently cited a study indicating that \u201cMuslims and Jews are more likely than adherents of any other tradition in the US to conceal their religious identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Muslims and Jews still aren\u2019t considered true \u201cAmericans\u201d by mainstream society, despite the fact they are the two most successful religious groups in the country in terms of education and wealth. According to Gallup, the two most highly educated religious groups are Jews and Muslims, among whom 61% and 40% respectively have a college degree, compared with 29% of Americans overall. These facts carry across gender lines as well, with Muslim females being the second-most educated religious group in the country, after Jewish females. Both groups also have household incomes above the American average.<\/p>\n
