Chinese shipbuilders have produced more than 100 warships in the past 10 years, a build rate easily outstripping that of the U.S. Navy.  The Chinese navy is already the largest in the world with an estimated 350 ships and submarines.   The speed with which China’s first aircraft carrier was built is the fastest in the history of aircraft carrier construction.

....“I just think that COVID is God’s gift to the Left. That’s a terrible thing to say. I think it was a very difficult thing to send down to us, but it has ripped the band-aid off who [Trump] is and what he stands for and what is being done to average people and working people in this country.”

White evangelical Protestants were the most comfortable with attending services, with 61% saying they were either "very comfortable" or "somewhat comfortable" with attending.

....As every generation has, youth today are understandably asking a lot of questions about life, culture, and faith. However, we can no longer assume, like we did only half a century ago, that churches are their go-to place to explore these struggles and doubts. With youth attendance at church in decline, how do we reach those teenagers who desperately need to know the “width and length, height and depth” of the love of Christ? (Ephesians 3:18)

The Trump Administration has prioritized the advancement of religious liberty for all faiths arguably more than any president in United States history...Tragically, roughly 80% of the world lives in a religiously restrictive environment.  Even with all the billions of dollars invested in development by the World Bank and other multilateral institutions, many countries around the world maintain repressive regimes that persecute religious minorities.

...On Sunday, the Pope used the COVID-19 pandemic to renew his criticisms of free-market capitalism....Breaking down his arguments one-by-one shows that his criticisms of free-market capitalism don’t mesh well with available facts, empirical evidence, or a basic understanding of how economics actually works.

Today in history, on October 7, 1571, one of the most cataclysmic clashes between Islam and the West — one where the latter for once crushed and humiliated the former — took place. 

...The result of the surprise appearance of Covidism has been that core doctrines of the Christian Church — Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant — have been severely compromised or even replaced by the enforcement of COVID-19 ritual cleansings coupled with liturgies and doctrines of the radical left.  Without much resistance or thought, most institutions, including the American Church, voluntarily capitulated to the cult's ritualistic regulatory minutiae.
