In the early 21st century, they are the world's most persecuted religious group. According to the secular International Society for Human Rights, 80 percent of violations of religious freedom in the world today are directed against Christians. Underlying the global war on Christians is the demographic reality that more than two-thirds of the world's 2.3 billion Christians now live outside the West, often as a beleaguered minority up against a hostile majority.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 272.9 Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 272.9 Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList
