At Christianity Today , Sarah Pulliam Bailey talks to Brit Hume about faith, the media, and Tiger Woods:
Is Christianity welcome in the media?
No. Christianity is scorned by many in the media.
Did you see that before you made this statement?
Sure. Think of how many times we’ve seen an athlete interviewed on the sidelines of a football game who says he owes it all to God or owes it all to Christ, and the weird silence that greets those statements. People are uncomfortable with it. People don’t want to talk about it. Politicians who proclaim their faith, the next question is about something else.
