The nation is becoming more polarized. There really is a culture war but it's not between the democrats and republicans or the liberals and the conservatives. It's between the traditionalists(those who want the same nation that we had for 200 years up until the 1960's[a religious nation]) and the progressives(those who want a secular nation). What used to be a christian nation is now a post-christian nation and rapidly becoming an anti-christian nation.
When Bill O'reilly was researching his book, 'the culture warrior', he said the thing that shocked him the most was the hatred on the side of the progressives. Seculars in this country don't dislike christians, they hate them. They'd like to see them in concentration camps or dead. Christophobia is becoming more widespread but, in this country, Christophobia is perfectly acceptable. Homophobia is rapidly becoming a hate crime. The old idea that our government is of the people, for the people and by the people is a real joke. The majority of the people are still christian in this country. Homosexuals are a small minority. But the cultural elites who run this country have decided that the homosexual lifestyle is to become mainstream and if the christian lifestyle has to go into the closet(sort of 'don't ask,don't tell') then that's just the collateral damage of ridding ourselves of the christian culture. Americans better decide whether the christian God is the real God. If He's not then none of this culture change matters. But if He is, then we're heading for a catastrophy in this country. Gods judgement isn't pretty.

You can only be afraid of something if you believe it poses a threat to you, and to pose a threat it must exist. Therefore - by definition - the only people who can be afraid of Christ are those who believe in Christ. As far as I know, Christ is pretty much seen as the good guy - "fear of God" is the proffered term, and I'm guessing we aren't dealing on a Trinitarian basis here.
Based on all that I would have to deduce that no, Christophobia is not becoming more widespread, if it exists at all.

No one's got a phobia that I've ever heard of. If the religious people have an exaggerated, usually inexplicable and illogical fear of someone, maybe it's time to rethink belief. D'ya think?

Phobia no, but I do think our collective mind is evolving and Christian teaching, Muslim fundamentalism and religions that control people on myth alone will soon enough change to fit a more educated society.

why is it that the people in power always develop a persecution complex when their beliefs or methods are criticised. see: robert mugabe, the reverend ian paisley, eugene tereblanche.
