383 churches were attacked in 2024.

And the media is still babbling about George Floyd and January 6th, the most violent day in history, in the entire universe.

Although the backlash to the overturning of Roe v. Wade appears to have subsided, vandals, arsonists, and worse targeted hundreds of churches in 2024, according to a new report.

Travis Weber, vice president for policy and government affairs at the Family Research Council, which released the report Monday, said most Americans would be surprised to hear that 383 churches suffered 415 attacks in 2024.

"We have a tendency in the West and in the United States to think of ourselves as safe and freedom-loving, tolerant, and protective of religious freedom, including religious freedom to practice Christianity," he told The Daily Signal in an interview Friday. "So, I think the fact that we have hundreds of incidents--specifically, 415--in the year 2024 is very revealing."

While these 415 attacks represented a decrease from the 2023 high of 485 attacks, it still included hundreds more incidents than in 2022 (19, 2021 (9, and previous years.

The Family Research Council used open-source documents, reports, and news articles to assess attacks against Christian churches. The 2024 report identified 284 acts of vandalism, 55 incidents of arson or other fires, 28 gun-related attacks, 14 bomb threats, and 47 other incidents, such as physical assault, disruption of church services, and general threats of harm.

In August, four churches in southern Ohio caught fire, and authorities suspected one person may have set all four fires. Authorities have yet to name a suspect. Also in August, a man allegedly killed the secretary of St. Mark AME Zion Church in Athens, Tennessee, before setting fire to the building, completely burning down the roof.

Other attackers disrupted services by entering churches with guns. These gun-related incidents increased from 12 in 2023 to 28 last year.

The left continues mainstreaming the idea that violence is just politics by other means.

They will come to grief for that.
