Christian missionaries who set up a camp called Shift the Atmosphere at the Burning Man festival in Nevada said they were asked to leave in the middle of the night, claiming they faced discrimination because of their faith. John Hinerman, a member of the group, shared a series of Instagram videos stating that the group attended the event to "spread the word of Jesus" but were removed by the festival's organizers. Hinerman argued that Burning Man was violating one of its core principles, "radical inclusion," by evicting them solely for being Christians. The group reportedly played "Christian EDM" music, served coffee to other attendees, and claimed to have performed over 600 baptisms during the festival. In a video, Hinerman said they were given only three hours to pack up their camp and leave, adding that other attendees had helped them during the process. He also claimed that more than 600 people had committed their lives to Jesus during the event, and he joked that "Satan is mad" about it. A spokesperson for Burning Man explained that the camp was removed after repeatedly violating the festival's media policies and failing to respect participant privacy. According to the spokesperson, seeking permission and consent before filming or engaging with other attendees is a key requirement at the event. The camp received multiple warnings and chances to correct their behavior but continued to break the rules, leading to their eviction. Hinerman disputed the claims, arguing that Burning Man was wrong to remove them and criticizing the festival for allowing attendees to walk around naked "without the consent" of others, including children. He called this behavior "wicked and sad." Burning Man, which takes place annually in Nevada from August 30 to September 7, is a cultural event where attendees build their own camps, installations, and entertainment. It was founded on 10 core principles, including "radical inclusion," "radical self-expression," and "demodification," which encourages participants to avoid traditional social roles. This year's festival has faced criticism, including from co-founder John Law, who accused Burning Man of losing its "anarchist soul" and becoming a "playground for the rich."
