"It's hard to fathom that we actually live in the United States. They [Google] have recruitment of ISIS on the site and beheadings, but they take down my video? I can't believe it." -Chuck Howard

"It's hard to fathom that we actually live in the United States. I keep thinking that I'm going to wake up and this is like a nightmare," Howard said after claiming Google removed his company's Christian video channel from YouTube for almost a year.

The channel was supposed to feature the trailer for the much-awaited movie, "I Am Not Ashamed." The movie details the last days of Rachel Joy Scott, a devout Christian teen who died for her faith during the Columbine High School massacre in 1999.

Howard, a co-producer of the movie, says Google's alleged anti-religious monopoly ruined the movie's marketing momentum.

"As of yet, we have not filed suit against Google, but are exploring all options," Chuck Howard told the Washington Times. "We've missed 11 months worth of advertising. They've destroyed us from carrying the momentum that we originally had going forward."

The movie trailer had 5 million views before the entire channel was taken down. As of now the channel has been reinstated, but remains penalized for its content. (Watch and share the movie trailer here)

"They have bootleg movies and all this kind of stuff up there, but they take down my site?" Howard said. "They have recruitment of ISIS on the site and beheadings, but they take down my video? I can't believe it."

However, with election news swarming just days before Americans hit the voting booths, Howard is not confident many politicians will take action on his behalf. Despite this, he has still reached out to politicians to make his plight known.

"I guess it's a bad time to go after Google, but it's a good time for me," Howard said. "How could we allow something to be so powerful in this country and not have any rights over it? I know that politicians will take this on after the election."
