Yancey, George A., 1962-

So many Christians, so few lions : is there Christianophobia in the United States? / George Yancey and David A. Williamson. - v, 207 pages ; 24 cm

Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-202) and index.

Introduction -- A history of anti-Christian hostility in the United States -- Who are those with anti-Christian animosity? -- How anti-Christian hostility shapes perceptions of Christians -- Dehumanizing and hating Christians -- What do people with anti-Christian animosity want? -- Christianophobia in the United States -- Conclusion.

This is a provocative look at anti-Christian sentiments in America. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative research, the authors do not attempt to show the prevalence of anti-Christian attitudes but rather to document it, dig into where it exists, explore who holds these attitudes, and examine how this bias plays itself out in everyday life.
