It's not so much anti-Christian as idiotic.

No, it's anti-christian. The western world is no longer friendly with Christianity. And, Europe is leading the growing hostility and intolerance.

[QUOTE=Happy Hacker]No, it's anti-christian. The western world is no longer friendly with Christianity. And, Europe is leading the growing hostility and intolerance.[/QUOTE]Technically its not anti-Christian, its anti-religious. After all, it is just treating Catholicism the same way it does Islam. A nuns habit is fully as obstentatious IMO as a Muslim's veil.
The underlying principle of course being expressed is simply multiculturalism's principle that all cultures are equal, (actually, equally false) and that democracy involves thus can involve creating perfect equality in the treatment of cultures. That is what is false.

This happens to be the operative principle of Freemasonry, and many other secret societies - when they say that all religions are equally valid ways towards God, they are really saying that they are all equally INVALID.
Likewise, when pantheism says that "everything is God," it really means that "nothing is God."
The connection of ultra-egalitarianism to relativism and nihilism is very obvious.

Excellent point Petr.. I agree with you 100 %.

There is possibly a silver lining in this.....
1) German churches (state and otherwise) may finally "get" the inherent conflict and pitfalls of unbiblically yoking themselves to civil government
2) Maybe this will shock some German Christians into souring on socialism and calling for the abolition of government schools. Or at least separating from them by pulling their kids out in favor of parochial schools and undermining the tax base and political support required to maintain government schools.

This is the argument that the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) uses for not allowing its clergy to serve as military chaplains--that they could compromise their faith by being forced to serve troops belonging to other religions. The WELS does supply non-military clergy at its own expense for WELS military personnel somehow, though.
In like manner, WELS does not allow its youth to join the Boy Scouts since the scouts recognize many different religions as equally valid (Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, various branches of Christianity, etc).

However, the sensible religions admit that truth can be found everywhere - in varying degrees.
Christianity's illogical approach has more in common with Ayn Rand than traditional Indo-European religion.

Allright, neo. Tell us what the "traditional Indo-European religion" is! What are "sensible religions"?
(By the way: neo-pagan fantasies not allowed. Give us some AUTHENTIC paganism.)

Christians have always acknowledged the wisdom of pre-Christian philosophers, such as Aristotle.

True, but certain strict reservations. (Aristotle made huge scientific and logical mistakes, btw.)
And what had this got to do with the issue at hand? You are describing just a relatively sensible ATTITUDE, neoclassical is talking about some sensible RELIGIONS.
I want to know what he's talking about.
