Whether it’s President Obama or Meagan Good our celebrities are proudly claiming their faith. Decades after the right-wing Christian conservative movement have marginalized Christians, expressing ones faith is becoming more culturally acceptable.
We see the evidence as President Obama’s face shined on the cover of Newsweek in a colorful halo. Jet magazine documented Bishop T.D. Jakes rise from the pulpit to pop culture. Good discussed her faith with several media outlets, and rapper Nicki Minaj said God was her hero on “Nightline.”
According to an Elev8 story, 76 to 80 percent of Americans consider themselves to be Christians. However, as the world, especially the United States is now in such a perpetual debate over what lifestyles are acceptable, regardless of what opinions will come and go; all those who stand unflinching for what they believe are winning.
