No one ever questions your ethics, no states have clauses in their constitutions deeming you unworthy of holding public office or serving on a jury, no political candidate ever suggests you are not a citizen, your holy book is in every nightstand in every hotel, you are automatically assumed to be honest and trustworthy, you are never blamed for floods, earthquakes or hurricanes, and you have entire communications networks just for your beliefs.

Need I go on?
