So Many Christians, So Few Lions: Is There Christianophobia in the United States?

So Many Christians, So Few Lions is a provocative look at anti-Christian sentiments in America. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative research, authors George Yancey and David A. Williamson show that even though (or perhaps because) Christianity is the dominant religion in the United States, bias against Christians also existsâ‚¬"particularly against conservative Christiansâ‚¬"and that this bias is worth understanding.

The book does not attempt to show the prevalence of anti-Christian sentimentsâ‚¬"called Christianophobiaâ‚¬"but rather to document it, to dig into where and how it exists, to explore who harbors these attitudes, and to examine how this bias plays itself out in everyday life. Excerpts from the authorsâ‚¬ interviews highlight the fear and hatred that some people harbor towards Christians, especially the Christian right, and the ways these people exhibit elements of bigotry, prejudice, and dehumanization. The authors argue that understanding anti-Christian bias is important for understanding some social dynamics in America, and they offer practical suggestions to help reduce religious intolerance of all kinds.
