Hume Tells Tiger To Change Faiths

This past Sunday morning on Fox News, Brit Hume was asked if he thought Tiger Woods could make a comeback. Hume replied:

"The extent to which he (Tiger) recovers depends on his faith. He's said to be a Buddhist; I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith... So my message to Tiger: turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world." (see the 1 min video)

Brit Hume has received a lot of praise for his comments and also a lot of criticism. Hume and others have sited the criticism as another example of Christianity under attack in America. So my questions for you:

Are these comments appropriate for a news anchor? Is there any warrent to those who are offended by these remarks? Are the criticisms of Hume's remarks an example of Christianity under attack in America? Is "Christianity" the answer to Tiger's problems?
