Dec. 19th, 2007 09:35 pmI recently read an LJ blog rightly criticising an article on a religiously conservative website called: worldnetdaily
While looking at the article, I saw a book being promoted entitled "Backfired: A nation born for religious tolerance no longer tolerates religion". While it would actually be pretty reasonable to presume that this was talking about Christian intolerance against other religions such as the protest against a Hindu giving a prayer in the senate and the promises of hellfire by the Westboro Baptist Church, the book is actually suggesting that Christianity is being discriminated against. I say 'Christianity', but the word used is simply 'religion'. The list of examples of this discrimination, however, shows a very definite emphasis on Christianity.
Every item on the list is quite clearly NOT discrimination.
