Not certain what you are meaning? But I can say...it is because there is freedom of religion and speech that we can speak our minds both in acknowledging our beliefs and defending them, and as well calling to account falsehoods and errors of the faith presented or promoted...especially and most assuredly when they claim the mantle of Christianity yet their belief system is in diametrically opposed to Christianity.

Jesus was quick to speak out to the religious leaders of His day who were promoting that which opposed the truths HE was expounding. Actually he did little to try to persuade them to Himself....rather he spoke firmly and used language that in His day would be considered offensive to those teaching falsehoods.. the intention was to expose these and those promoting them. When he was finished they knew he had called them on what they were promoting.....they wanted to kill him for that.

When truth stands in the face of lies and falsehoods there will indeed be a clash....reasons are obvious....nothing has changed from when Christ opposed false teachings to now. Those who were willing to hear were instructed and learned. Those who opposed Him and the truth He called them out. “White washed hypocrites”....”Brood of vipers”...and He revealed their hypocrisy's time and again.... We follow Him likewise.
