Politician Promises Liberia Will Be "Christian Nation"

It is not just politicians in the U.S. who sometimes talk about making their country a “Christian nation”. In Liberia, an African nation with historical ties to the United States, one of the candidates for president has made similar statements. Charles Brumskine promises that if elected he will declare Liberia to be a Christian state. An editorial in last Sunday’s Liberian Times condemns this proposal as religious extremism.
