A new report released by the Family Research Council shows that more than 400 acts of hostility were recorded against churches in the United States in 2024, with a sharp rise in gun--related incidents, the Christian Today website reports today (August 18, 2025).
The incidents highlighted in the group's "Hostility against Churches in the United States" report ranged from vandalism and arson to gun--related threats, bomb hoaxes, and physical assaults.
The Washington--based conservative Christian advocacy organization documented 415 hostile acts across 43 states, affecting 383 churches, based on open--source documents, media reports, and official records.
"The rise in crimes against churches is taking place in a context in which fewer Americans are attending religious services or identify with specific faith," the report notes.
