(1,439 posts)1) You brought up Muslims first.
2) He specifically says Islam is no different from other religions when you ask him about churches and temples.
3) You brought up state/social indoctrination when he was talking about the private indoctrination of a religious family raising children into a belief system.
4) He points out that you two are talking past each other, which you were because you decided he was a bigot with his first reply, and tries to correct any misunderstandings.
5) You erroneously conclude that his comments about Sharia Law reflect a concern about its spread to the US-despite his prior statements (and optimism) that religious thought is on the decline!
Regarding your question about humanists, the list of famous humanists is a who's who of famous liberals.
