"I've asked probably a dozen lawmakers why the Democrats would do this -- a second time -- before President Trump leaves office. They don't know. [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi may not even know."

Whether by violent attacks from non-state actors or government regulations, Christians face severe impediments to the free practice of their faith in many places around the world. As threats to religious freedom mount, it is important to know the challenges believers face around the world.
