The typical insult from the non-religious crowd is to refer to believers as “ignorant,” “stupid,” “brainwashed,” or otherwise suggest that those who have faith are less intelligent than those who do not. When a Christian puts up a good fight, by standing up intelligently for his faith, the terms change to “bigot,” “extremist,” or “zealot.” When people who know that believer is kind and loving hear this, the loud-mouthed atheist starts to look like the fool that he or she is (Psalm 53:1). Most non-believers have not had personal reasons to see Christians negatively, but they sometimes hear so much from the loud anti-Christians that they just assume it is so. They need examples of Christ-like living to see the truth.

Jesus told us that the world is against Him, and those who follow HIm. It is a fact of life. Jesus does not need to be defended. He already took care of that. Dont worry about "standing up for your faith," in fact, dont worry at all, its not very helpful. Maybe a better question would be "How can I grow my faith in such an anti-Jesus world," or "how can I spread the Love of jesus in such an anti-jesus world?"
Read your bible
Pray
Spread the good news

It's hard to stand up for our faith when everyone tries to knock us down. In response to whoever said "How is this an anti-christian nation" It's everywhere and it's plain to see. They've taken Jesus out of the nativity scene at Christmas, when Jesus is the reason we have a nativity scene, and the reason we have Christmas for that matter. Everyone wants to accomodate the needs of the unbelievers to not offend anyone, but what about the Christians they are offending? No one cares.
The reason Christians "shove their religion down your throat" is because we care about lost souls. We dont' know how else to reach you. We don't want to see anyone go to hell. Yet we are mocked for what we believe.
Satan wants to knock us down, and we can't let him. Standing up for our faith is tough, but that is why we have church and prayer, and the Bible. With God before us, who can be against us?

First issues first. the international isn't an Anti-Christian international. it relatively is delusional behaviour on your area, in case you think of this so. actuality: Christianity is on the decline, simply by determination, progression, loss of morals and social respects, loss of perception, faith corrosion is happening to all those, that see suffering around the globe, the place the West is starting to be richer and the the remainder of the international is being left in the back of, and this corrosion and tarnishing of the religion, is ensuing in the Erosion of Religon globally. yet none of it relatively is to do with Anti Christian stance via all or lots of the followers of alternative faiths. Now that we've addressed the 1st area of your erroneous stipulation of international faiths, the 2nd area and how Christians might desire to stand up, is to start believing in God, easily start up going to Church. Christians are dropping faith in the Lord, simply by their very own strikes. Sunday is now no longer a holy day, yet a procuring day. Easter is now no longer a spiritual day, yet a time to consume chocolate eggs, and different linked non-sensical activities. Christmas is basically approximately provides and the christmas tree, and a bid lunch of turkey. this is not any longer a religous time, the place the lord is remembered via a lots needed trip to the church. Christianity is suffering simply by lack of ability of perception from its very own followers. i'm sorry, my buddy, yet faith erosion is happening in all religons globally, besides the undeniable fact that Christianity is the biggest casuality of all of them. so, motivate your pals and kinfolk to start to bypass to church, and make contributions some time to those efforts and be an occasion for others, the lord nevertheless needs us, and loves us. wish i did no longer offend, yet your question replaced into 0.5 staggering.

They shoudn't. They don't have the authority to. They just need to leave people alone and let them believe in what they want to believe in. And if they don't want to do that, then just tell them to leave ME alone. Because I hate when people from the churches in town come knocking on my door and asking if I want to come to their church. They're like, "You can be saved!" I'm like, "F u c k off." But whatever dude. Religion is just so stupid to me. Or just the fact that everyone wants everyone to believe in what they believe in. I'm agnostic and I will be until I have a good reason not to be. And I don't think that will be any time soon.

It's not so much an anti-christian world as a world disinterested in myths and legends.

Well, probably not in the current way. Many people think differently of you when they find out you're a Christian. Christians are probably the biggest turn off to Christianity, which is sad cause I'm a Christian myself. WWJD? He wouldn't hate and he wouldn't tell people that they're going to hell.

Anti christian world could be conquered by Christians in convincing them to read the bible and explain to them ab out the bible and because the bible is not easy to understand the evangelist should explain to them carefully until they could understand it
