I hope, in 2017, for a resolution to the glaring conflict that Donald Trump brings with him into the White House.
On the one hand he favors religious liberty via elimination of regulations that limit the right of Christians to express and practice their faith. But he also opposes religious liberty by demanding that Muslims register and/or be monitored because they pose a terrorist threat.
Trump can’t have it both ways, and it will be up to the courts and possibly Congress to decide which way will prevail. Christians can’t have rights that are denied to Muslims or any other religious group. And Muslims’ rights cannot be limited without also limiting the rights of Christians.
To legally favor Christians over other religions is to create, in effect, a theocracy.
