Living in the US, it's so hard to imagine being taken hostage simply because of religious affiliations. Sadly, religious persecution is occurring in various parts of the world. But, the Bible addresses topics such as these, because they were happening even in biblical times. (It's so awesome how relevant The Word still is, even thousands of years later!)
"Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf" 1 Peter 4:16
Have you ever refrained from sharing Christ for fear of being judged or talked about? The law allows us to freely express our religious beliefs, so what are we afraid of? Human judgement? We all know humans are fickle!
"If the world hates you, know that it hated me [Jesus] before it hated you" John 15:18
