    I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of young Iranians are disillusioned by Islam because of their government. I certainly don’t see it out of the realm of possibility that there are lots of converts although Christianity is still at like 1% of the country. A drop in a bucket for now.

      1. There’s zero evidence Christians aren’t just some tiny minority in Iran.

      2. Why would disillusionment over Islam make people convert to Christianity and not just, you know, be secular?

      I certainly don’t see it out of the realm of possibility that everyone in Japan converts to Mormonism, it’s still a ludicrous deranged claim to advance let alone take seriously

          Here’s one from an Arabic source so it should have less bias towards Christianity

          Why would the source being “Arab” have less bias towards Christianity? Not all Arabs are Muslims, and the middle eastern population of Muslims makes up ~20% of the global Muslim population.

          Edit: "Radio Farda is the Persian language broadcaster at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, "

          “Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, an independent news company which receives a grant from the U.S. Congress through the United States Agency for Global Media.”

          Your source is absolutely biased btw. This is from their about page. Also: bateman-business-card lol at confusing Arabic with Farsi.

            I’m not sure if you’re purposefully being dense but only 5% of the Arabian population is Christian.

            Like I said there are many articles that exist out in the wild. Don’t be a tool.
