Fighting the Culture War

The culture war is not a political debate — it is a spiritual battle. The systematic attack on Christian values in art, entertainment, education, and public life is not accidental. It flows from a revolution against the natural order and the law of God that has been building for centuries.

The American TFP has been on the front lines of this battle since its founding — protesting blasphemy, defending the sacred, and exposing the anti-Christian agenda wherever it appears. From Hollywood to the public square, from universities to social media, we will not be silent.

Explore our articles on the ongoing battle to defend Christian civilization against the forces of the cultural revolution.
