Quote by Richard Wurmbrand

I defy my honored opponents to give me the name of a single man imprisoned in the United States, Great Britain, or West Germany for being an atheist.

Summary

This quote suggests that in countries like the United States, Great Britain, and West Germany, atheists are not imprisoned for their lack of faith, while in former communist countries, Christians have faced persecution, imprisonment, and even death. The quote challenges the notion that atheists have fought for and achieved freedom, arguing that it is Christians who have been the ones truly fighting for their religious freedom. It implies that Christian faith has been tested and demonstrated resilience in the face of persecution, while atheism has not faced the same level of opposition or restriction.
