n I visited Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 1987, and again last month, I saw evidence of many Christian missionaries along with some of the fruits of their labor (both sweet and sour, depending on your point of view). PNG is now one of the most Christian countries in the world. More than 96 percent of its citizens identify as Christian, with Catholicism the largest denomination at 27 percent. Here are some of my PNG observations, then and now.

They're evening thinking about banning non-chrisian religions.

Okay so how does this answer my question about what change Christian beliefs will have on their laws? It seems the big one is the banning of non Christians and the article is against that.

Also there are several countries with a similarly high rate of Christians, Greece, Romania, and Ukraine to name a few.

I don't think non Christian religions should be banned. That's basically coercing people into being "Christian"

...ah, I see how that would be useful. Then they can force anyone to be a Christian who isn't, and maybe torture and kill them if they don't become a Christian! Just like the Spanish Inquisition!! Great idea!
