Are You a ‘Stockholm Syndrome Christian’?

Over the past 15 years, Francis Collins has been one of the most powerful scientists in America. He also is the most recognized evangelical Christian scientist in America.

In this 25-minute Discovery Institute presentation based on his new book Stockholm Syndrome Christianity, Dr. John West critically examines Collins’s public record in a variety of areas at the intersection of faith, morality, and science. Why did Barack Obama consider Collins a safe choice to head the National Institutes of Health? How did Collins treat fellow Christians who differed with his views on abortion, LGBTQ issues, the COVID lockdowns, and mandated vaccine? Why is Collins so committed to imposing Darwinism on churches by any means necessary?

Learn how the dominance of secularism in so many of our institutions leads many Christians to abandon core elements of their faith or soft-peddle unpopular moral stances in a desperate quest for social respectability or career advancement.
