The Crusade Against Faith<\/h1>\n
————————————————————————–<\/span><\/div>\n

By Matt Philbin<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cThousands of atheists,\u00a0agnostics\u00a0and other non-believers turned out in the US capital on Saturday to celebrate their rejection of the idea of God and to claim a bigger place in public life,\u201d wrote Agence France-Press of the \u201cReason Rally\u201d on the National Mall March 24, 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"\"The Reason Rallyers carried crucifixes with profane statements on them, and signs like \u201cSo many Christians, so few lions.\u201d They cheered the headline speaker, militant British atheist and scientist Richard Dawkins. Dawkins stressed that, \u201cI don’t despise religious people. I despise what they stand for …\u201d But he went on to exhort the crowd to \u201cridicule and show contempt\u201d for believers and their faith.<\/p>\n

The Reason Rally was just the most obvious action in a long campaign that\u2019s been intensifying \u2013 the secular war on faith and its traditional place in American culture. The secular left has grown bolder and more strident in its attempts to marginalize belief in politics, society and pop culture. That\u2019s why, on CNN<\/a>, anchor Kyra Phillips thought so little of Church doctrine she asked a Catholic bishop, why not get on board with the 43 percent of Catholics” who favor gay marriage. A recent episode of the TV show \u201cGlee\u201d had no problem attacking the Bible while pushing the gay agenda. \u201cYou know what else the Bible says is an abomination?\u201d said one character. \u201cEating lobster, planting crops in the same field, giving someone a proud look \u2013 not an abomination? Slavery. Jesus never said anything about gay people. That\u2019s a fact.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2012, the nation faces stubbornly high unemployment, an anemic economy and skyrocketing gas prices. Overseas America is in an unpopular war in Afghanistan and the specter of a nuclear armed Iran looms. And liberals and the media want to talk about \u2026 religion.<\/p>\n

Specifically, they want to talk about Christianity and Mormonism, skewing their beliefs and twisting issues and positions to make orthodox Christians and practicing Mormons look like intolerant moralizers, out of step with modern America.<\/p>\n

So when actor Kirk Cameron states his faith-based opposition to gay marriage, it\u2019s \u201chate speech.\u201d NFL quarterback Tim Tebow is called \u201cpolarizing\u201d and told to \u201cS.T.F.U.\u201d [shut the f*** up] because he publicly lives his evangelical Christian beliefs. An entire new comedy-drama series on network TV is dedicated to painting Christians as foolish and hypocritical.<\/p>\n

The secular left has always had plenty of actual hatred for religion and religious people. But in an election year, their animosity is useful tool to help President Obama further his agenda and secure reelection.<\/p>\n

To that end, liberals have combined Rick Santorum\u2019s personal orthodox Catholic views on birth control with the Church\u2019s opposition to the White House contraception mandate to create a conservative \u201cwar on women.\u201d A Huffington Post blogger said Santorum was part of a \u201cJesus-eating cult, while former New York Times Editor Bill Keller accused Santorum of \u201ccreeping up on a Christian version of Sharia law.\u201d Salon\u2019s Joan Walsh and the New York Times\u2019 Charles Blow felt free to openly mock Romney\u2019s Mormon faith on Twitter, she sneering about the Mormon belief in \u201cbaptism by proxy,\u201d he about Romney\u2019s \u201cmagic underwear.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the meantime, in Afghanistan, Muslims engaged in violent protests and murdered each other and American soldiers over the accidental burning of Korans that captured terrorists had already desecrated by writing secret messages in them. But American liberals see moral equivalency between such killers and Christians who oppose abortion or object to paying for birth control. In the words of one, the only difference between the Taliban and orthodox Catholics \u201cis the type of faith they would impose on others.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Media Research Center\u2019s Culture and Media Institute looked at media coverage of religion as it relates to politics from December 2011 to March 2012, and documented four ways liberals and their media allies have been smearing traditional Christians and Mormons in their crusade against faith.<\/p>\n

1. Whipping Up a War on Women<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jobs and the economy are far and away the most important issues to American voters. A March 28 Gallop poll showed 71 percent of Americans worried \u201ca great deal\u201d about the economy, and 65 percent about gas prices. Not coincidentally, these are precisely the areas where President Obama\u2019s record is weakest. It would make sense for liberals to try to change the subject.<\/p>\n

In an early January GOP primary debate in New Hampshire, ABC\u2019s George Stephanopoulos unveiled what it would be: contraception. Apropos of nothing, since contraception wasn\u2019t in the news, Stephanopoulos demanded whether Romney and Santorum thought states had a right to ban contraceptives, citing something Santorum had said years before about the constitutionality of the 1965 Supreme Court ruling that found a \u201cright to privacy\u201d that trumped states\u2019 rights to ban contraception. The audience booed Stephanopoulos. For his part, Romney, clearly blindsided, called the line of questioning \u201csilly.\u201d<\/p>\n

On January 5, MSNBC\u2019s Chris Matthews played video of Santorum on Bill O\u2019Reilly\u2019s Fox News Channel show. Asked if states had the right to ban contraceptives, Santorum said they did, but they \u201cshouldn’t do it. I wouldn’t vote for it if they did. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have a right to do it.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Don't Believe the Liberal Media! Why? They support every organization and evil idea that support all anti-Christs!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Matthews told guest Robert Traynham, a former Santorum staffer, \u201cLet me tell you what he said. He’s said \u2018My religion should dominate, should trump issues of the Constitution.\u2019 He was saying, \u2018Bill O’Reilly, you and I are of the same religion, therefore we should deny a woman’s constitutional right to buy birth control or a male to buy birth control.\u2019 Isn’t that what he said? We just showed the tape.” Traynham heard no such thing and said so. \u201cHe just did. Okay? He just did,\u201d asserted Matthews. \u201cAnd that’s what scares me. He thinks we should have a theocracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
GOP Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum is ridiculed by comics on TV for his faith and values<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The theocracy accusation seems common among liberal pundits. Radio host and columnist Bill Press wrote in March that, \u201cSantorum is, at heart, a religious zealot: a religious extremist, who wants the laws of the land to be bound by the tenets of his faith. Sound familiar? It should. Because it\u2019s the same kind of dangerous, religious extremism we\u2019ve learned to fear in the Middle East. The only difference between Santorum and the Taliban\u2019s view of religion\u2019s role in government is the type of faith they would impose on others.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the Obama administration delivered its contraception mandate in late January, it\u2019s religious exemption was so narrow that only actual places of worship were exempt. Despite the friendly engagement of New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan as head of the Conference of Catholic Bishops, Obama decreed religious hospitals, schools, universities and charities would have to offer contraception, sterilization and abortifacient coverage to employees or pay huge fines.<\/p>\n

In The Washington Post, columnist Michael Gerson that \u201cObama chose to substantially burden a religious belief, by the most intrusive means, for a less-than-compelling state purpose \u2014 a marginal increase in access to contraceptives that are easily available elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Gerson saw the mandate as a direct slap at religion. \u201cBoth radicalism and maliciousness are at work in Obama\u2019s decision \u2014 an edict delivered with a sneer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Initial outrage even from some on the left forced the president to offer an \u201caccommodation\u201d that many rightly called an \u201caccounting trick.\u201d (The burden of payment for the disputed products and services would be on the insurance companies. But by definition, for-profit companies don\u2019t provide anything \u201cfree.\u201d And many religious entities \u201cself-insure,\u201d meaning they\u2019d end up paying anyway.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Conservative Catholic Bishops are under attack for continuing to maintain their religious worldview<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When the Bishops rejected the fig leaf compromise, they immediately became the authors of the \u201cwar on women,\u201d and paid the price.<\/p>\n

On his radio show a couple of days later, Press (a former Catholic seminarian) expanded his condemnation to the Catholic bishops.<\/p>\n

There is a war on women going on. It\u2019s a war on women that\u2019s being conducted by Republicans in the House, you expect that. By Republicans in the Senate, you expect that. But, it\u2019s also being led by the Catholic bishops of this country, which is outrageous and which is wrong. Well you might say of course the Catholic Bishops are part of the war on women, you know they won\u2019t allow women to become priests in the Catholic Church. They won\u2019t allow Priests to get married because there\u2019s something wrong with living with a woman, or having sex with a woman. I mean they\u2019ve got this anti-woman thing built into them.<\/p>\n

Again, the bishops object to providing birth control as a matter of religious conscience. They currently are not obligated to cover contraceptives for employees and simply want that to continue. But the liberals have pushed the story of the bishops and conservatives as aggressors, as MSNBC\u2019s Rachel Maddow did in a Washington Post op-ed<\/a> that was accompanied on-line by a video cartoon of a bishop and a politician playing ping-pong with a miniaturized woman\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

On Feb. 16, in the Washington Post\u2019s invariably misnamed \u201cOn Faith\u201d blog, Lisa Miller dripped contempt for Catholicism as she advised President Obama how to fight his \u2018war on religion.\u2019 The bishops\u2019 defense of their \u201cso-called freedoms\u201d was \u201ca red herring, an election-year ploy to make the president look un-American.\u201d Miller exhorted the president to stand up \u201cto the zealots.\u201d<\/p>\n

The New York Times blamed religion for what it called the GOP\u2019s \u201ccasual cruelty,\u201d in a March 7 editorial. \u201cRepublican candidates are so deep in the trenches of cultural and religious warfare that they aren\u2019t offering any solutions \u2026 There are finally signs that they may pay a price for the casual cruelty with which they attack whole segments of society. Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican of Alaska, said on Tuesday that the Republicans have left people thinking they are at war with women. Women are right to think that.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Old Fashioned Anti-Catholicism<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Communion Table at a Catholic Church. Holy Communion is mocked and maligned, calling Catholics a "Jesus-Eating Cult"<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Because the HHS Mandate primarily affected Catholic institutions, the Catholic bishops and their defenders quickly became the most visible villains of the phony war on women.<\/p>\n

As an orthodox Catholic, Santorum joined the bishops. The most vile attack came from a blogger at the Huffington Post<\/a>. In \u201cThe Jesus-Eating Cult of Rick Santorum,\u201d Larry Doyle called the pope a \u201cformer Nazi,\u201d and the Catholic mass a \u201cbarbaric ritual\u201d where followers eat the Jesus meat and drink his holy blood in a cannibalistic reverie not often seen outside Cinemax.\u201d<\/p>\n

Santorum, Doyle wrote, planned to \u201cimplement his leader’s dicta on allowed uses of vaginas and anuses, but has said little about what additional dogma he will be compelled to obey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Responding to outrage<\/a> over the column, Doyle refused to apologize, calling the piece satire \u201cof the type of vicious religious ignorance and intolerance I too often see coming from too many so-called Christians, especially Santorum.\u201d The vicious ignorance he cited Santorum\u2019s \u201cdog whistle references to President Obama’s \u2018phony ideology\u2019 and his assertion that it is impossible to be a Christian and liberal.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Doyle\u2019s explanation was no better than the original column. Santorum had referred to Obama having \u201csome phony theology.\u201d In context, Santorum was clearly talking about Obama\u2019s adherence to environmentalism, which conservatives have long compared to a theology. He wasn\u2019t questioning the president\u2019s Christianity. But liberal journalists like The Washington Post\u2019s Rosalind S. Helderman<\/a>, decided to spin the incident as an intentional \u201cus versus them\u201d verbal cue to believing Christians.<\/p>\n

That Doyle was unapologetic isn\u2019t surprising \u2013 anti Catholicism is mainstream on the elite left. For example, at a February appearance at Washington, D.C.\u2019s Ford\u2019s Theater, MSNBC\u2019s Chris Matthews claimed Catholics are bigoted<\/a>. Talking about political trends in the American South, Matthews said, \u201cIf you’re really anti-gay, you become a Catholic now.\u201d Asked if he wished to he wished to \u201cexpand or apologize,\u201d\u00a0Matthews said, \u201cI’m saying that some people who are bigoted against gay people have changed religions. Yes. You got it right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Profaning Catholic symbolism also makes for entertainment. At the Grammy awards in February, a performance by singer Nicki Minaj caused controversy. Catholic League President Bill Donohue described it<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Minaj\u2019s performance began on stage with a mock confessional skit. This was followed by a taped video depicting a mock exorcism. With stained glass in the background, she appeared on stage again with choir boys and monks dancing.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most vulgar part was the sexual statement that showed a scantily clad female dancer stretching backwards while an altar boy knelt between her legs in prayer. Finally, \u201cCome All Ye Faithful\u201d was sung while a man posing as a bishop walked on stage; Minaj was shown levitating.<\/p>\n

None of this was by accident, and all of it was approved by The Recording Academy, which puts on the Grammys.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Bill Donahue, President of The Catholic League, is hated and maligned by those who are anti-God, anti-Christ, anti-religion, and anti-Bible. Why? Because these bigots want to be left to sin in wanton pleasures exuding lawless lusts with government man-made laws sanctioning their evil behaviors. They are striving to get new laws made to halt the preaching and teachings of the Holy Bible against the sins mentioned therein. The "Reason Rally" marks a new level of the organized , hateful political war on Christianity.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But Donohue, to liberals, was \u201chyperventilating,\u201d in the words of New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. Minaj\u2019s act wasn\u2019t to Dowd\u2019s taste. \u201cThe only good thing about it, as Marc Hogan wrote in Spin, was the chance that her devilish song might make \u201cBill Donohue\u2019s head spin while spewing green vomit.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. Ecumenical Hate<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just Catholics; evangelicals and other conservative Christians draw plenty of fire too. <\/strong><\/p>\n

When quarterback Tim Tebow almost singlehandedly turned around the Denver Broncos season last fall he became to talk of the pro sports world, and often for the worse. \u201cTebowing\u201d \u2013 imitating the outspoken Christian\u2019s practice of dropping to one knee in prayerful acknowledgement of God \u2013 became an often mocking phenomenon. Entire websites devoted to hating Tebow sprang up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Former Quarterback Jack Plummer #16, Denver Broncos, spews out that he'd like Tim Tebow better if Tebow didn't speak of Jesus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Former NFL quarterback Jake Plummer said of Tebow: \u201cI think that when he accepts the fact that we know that he loves Jesus Christ, then I think I’ll like him a little better. I don’t hate him because of that, I just would rather not have to hear that every single time he takes a good snap or makes a good handoff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bill Press put a finer point on it. On his radio show in December, he played audio of Tebow talking to the media after a game and then mocked him. \u201cOh yeah, all right all right yeah first of all I just have to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and you know what I want to say, S.T.F.U. [shut the f*** up] I\u2019m tired of hearing Tim Tebow and all this Jesus talk.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the Broncos lost big to Buffalo on Christmas Eve, \u201ccomedian\u201d Bill Maher tweeted \u201cWow, Jesus just f***ed #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere \u2026 Satan is tebowing \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

In January, BleacherReport.com<\/a> pronounced that, \u201cTim Tebow Is Now the Most Polarizing Figure in All of Sports.\u201d When Tebow was traded in March, ESPN reported \u201cUnusually quiet in recent weeks, the New York Jets shattered the calm Wednesday by completing a trade for polarizing quarterback Tim Tebow, the team confirmed.\u201d<\/p>\n

In sports, \u201cpolarizing\u201d is a word usually reserved for athletes who taunt opponents or brag, or whose on- and off-field behavior is outrageous. None of those things apply to Tebow. So the quarterback is polarizing simply for being a practicing Christian.<\/p>\n

Another public figure who has paid a price for not just paying lip service to his religion is actor Kirk Cameron<\/a>. Appearing on CNN\u2019s \u201cPiers Morgan Tonight\u201d on March 2, the evangelical Christian was asked about his views on gay marriage.<\/p>\n

Cameron told Morgan, \u201cMarriage is defined by God in the garden between Adam and Eve, one man, one woman for life, til-death-do-you-part,\u201d and said he would never attempt to re-define marriage \u2013 he did not support gay marriage because of his Christian beliefs.<\/p>\n

That simple statement, which would have been unremarkable a generation ago, drew a storm of outrage from gay activists and their liberal allies. Cameron was a \u201cbigot\u201d and \u201chomophobe,\u201d according gay gossip columnist Perez Hilton. Actress Roseanne Barr<\/a> tweeted that \u201ckirk or kurt or whatever cameron is an accomplice to murder with his hate speech. so is rick warren. their peers r killing gays in uganda.\u201d That\u2019s Rosanne Barr the anti-Semite<\/a> who recently called for beheading the rich<\/a> right here in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Lest there be any mistake that the Hollywood left is particularly hostile to Christianity, they\u2019ve created an entire TV show<\/a> to prove it. In just the first three episodes of ABC\u2019s \u201cG.C.B.\u201d (short for \u201cGood Christian Bitches\u201d \u2013 it\u2019s original title), there were more than 100 instances of mocking or attacking Christians and their faith. The characters are drunken adulterers or secretly gay, materialistic, dishonest and treacherous.<\/p>\n

4. Mormon Magic<\/strong><\/p>\n

If, as seems likely, Mitt Romney becomes the Republican nominee, liberals have already shown they\u2019ll go after his Mormon faith, whether in tweets, jokes or under the guise of \u201cjournalism.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney right now is favored by the media over Rick Santorum, but if Romney becomes the Republican candidate opposing Obama Hussein, then the hatred will become much more extreme and vocal in all the media, including late-night comics<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An example of the latter was provided by MSNBC\u2019s \u201cMorning Joe\u201d on Feb. 3. Under the guise of discussing \u201cmisconceptions\u201d about Mormonism, the panel helpfully reminded viewers that, in the words of co-host Willie Geist, some people believe \u201cthere\u2019s something weird, something odd about Mormonism.\u201d They brought up polygamy and “strange religious rituals.”\u00a0Author Matthew Bowman suggested pop culture depicts Mormons as “still not a group to be taken seriously, not a group of people who can actually look and say, yes, this is somebody I might want to elect president.”<\/p>\n

During a televised debate in which Mitt Romney made mention of the importance of two-parent homes, Charles Blow of the New York Times tweeted<\/a> \u201cLet me just tell you this Mitt \u2018Muddle Mouth\u2019: I\u2019m a single parent and my kids are *amazing*! Stick that in your magic underwear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMagic underwear\u201d is a derogatory reference to a garment Mormons hold sacred and keep throughout their lives.<\/p>\n

Twitter seems to be where liberal journalists let their disdain for Mormons hang out. Salon\u2019s Joan Walsh did on Feb. 28. \u201cRomney\u2019s saving the soul of America \u2013 so he doesn\u2019t have to baptize us after we\u2019re dead.\u201d Mormons believe that a living person can have a baptism by proxy<\/a> for someone that has died without having gone through this ritual.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n

From spinning the ObamaCare attack on religious conscience into a \u201cwar on women,\u201d to screaming \u201ctheocracy\u201d when a conservative talks about faith, recent examples of the liberal media\u2019s contempt for faith are too numerous to adequately catalog. These are just the most glaring examples. And they\u2019re echoed in other ways in other parts of culture. The last acceptable discrimination targets Christians, and the evidence appears almost weekly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
There are only two powers, God and Satan. Atheists are under Satan's power.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Christian groups objected recently to Vanderbilt University\u2019s \u201call comers\u201d policy that \u201crequires organizations on campus to comply with its all-comers policy, which requires groups to extend membership and leadership<\/a> positions to all who show up at meetings,\u201d according to the Christian Post<\/a>. \u201cIn other words, organizations cannot require that leaders share the group’s beliefs, goals and values.\u201d In response to Christian protests, American United for the Separation of Church and State Executive Director Barry W. Lynn told them to \u201cstop whining\u201d and have their meetings in private homes like their brethren in communist China.<\/p>\n

In Cranston, R.I.,<\/a> an atheist group paid a high school student a $40,000 \u201cscholarship\u201d for successfully suing her high school to have a 50-year-old prayer banner removed from the walls. In Harrisburg, Penn., Ernest Perce V, the Pennsylvania director of American Atheists, recently demanded state lawmakers rescind a decision to celebrate 2012 as the \u201cYear of the Bible,\u201d according to FoxNation<\/a>. The Bible, he said, is \u201cbarbaric.\u201d In December, CMI documented the 2011 campaign of the ongoing \u201cwar on Christmas<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Such hostility toward traditional faith is facilitated by a media that doesn\u2019t understand people of faith, and is eager to use religious and cultural issues as a weapon against conservative policies and politicians while pays lip service to the religious claims of liberals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The liberal media\u2019s innate disdain for religion has never been more useful in achieving their political goals. As a result, 2012 is the year of the Crusade against Faith.<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country. Wake up and help stop it!","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/author\/dcalvin"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13433"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13433\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13461,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13433\/revisions\/13461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
