I just watched a video on "What if Christianity was outlawed in America", and it far as saying that if Christianity was outlawed in America (or frankly, the world ,and go into the underground) disease would run rampart, AIDS would be spreadable just like the common cold, and some other things ...
What do you think would happen if Christianity was outlawed in America?

We would continue to be Christians, even if that means being thrown to the Lions. The church would go back to the catacombs and tribulation like in Imperial Rome, but It would continue. Persecution doesn't kill Christianity: It strenghtens it.

Who put out this video? Is it from people who honestly think such a thing could likely happen? If anything, it seems that full-fledged belief in a religion like Christianity, even in the face of other reasoning, could be seen as helping those disasters like AIDS or overpopulation along. Who else but Christians tell people in a starving 3rd world country to have more babies?
Anyway, I think most people would just find some other religion. Part of them would become zealots, and the problems associated with Christianity in the first place would now be associated with the other "hot" religion.

Clearly that video is polemical and made by extremist Christians. Maybe the answer can be found by extrapolation. The United States contains a significant religious element and wants to ban stem-cell research, etc. Move to a less religious society, check whether AIDS is increasing and diseases are increasing. Europe has a European Community constitution that makes no mention of God AT ALL, but AIDS rates are under control and they have socialized medicine to cut down on disease. Even the poor are as healthy as anybody else; can the "religious" US say the same?
If Christianity could really be made to disappear, a whole lot of witch-doctors would have to find some other line of work to practice their sick power-puppetry games on other people!

Ahahahahahahahaha
That had to be one biased documentary. Condoms help stop spread AIDS and a lot Christians are against condoms because it goes God's will. SCIENCE which goes against a lot of Christian teachings cure disease not Christianity.
I think there would be a lot less judgment if Christianity was outlawed. Or maybe just the witnessing part. I could care less about the rest of it.

In so many countries it is against the law to even say his name out loud. But I really believe if it were to be outlawed here we would find away to still worship and praise him every day. And as for all the different diseases we will still have them and yes they probably would run crazy cause( just like the schools) when you take god out the devil comes in

Seeing as how Christians disregard scientific fact, and scientists are the ones who are working on cures for diseases like AIDS, etc., then I seriously doubt that outlawing Christianity would have the effects you list concerning disease, etc.

It really wouldn't matter to me because my faith is for me only. I will witness if it is asked for, I will tell about my love for and belief in Christ and God if I'm asked about it. Otherwise I keep it to myself because I dont have the right to force my beliefs on anyone. I think a lot of the problems the world already faces is because those in politics try to conform the world to their beliefs. I truly believe that Christians will one day be forced underground because once given the ultimatum of denouncing their faith and accepting the mark of the beasts, they will choose God and have no other option than to go underground or be killed.

It would still exist in homes and in other nations and the Christians would start another crusade I'm sure
On the other hand we would have a lot less atheists, since half of them are ex-Christians. So, there are the good and down sides...
and.. Allahu Akbar!
