There is a serious anti-Christian vibe around here

Radical Christian fundamentalists share the same intent as radical Muslim fundamentalists in forcing their extremist views on everyone else. Given the opportunity Christian fundamentalists would be just as violent except that we live in a country governed by laws and rights that work to curtail some of their efforts. Even now, those safeguards are under constant assault by religious fanatics convinced that their special deity created an America solely for Christians and they are compelled to create their very own theocracy.

Look at the slow, insidious creep of religion over the last decade that has intruded into every mainstream practice from commerce to government. What was once impossible and too ridiculous to be taken seriously, like creationism and tax money funding religion, or businesses claiming religious carve outs, has crept into the public domain and become acceptable. It shows no sign of stopping.

While the whole country starts wailing in paranoid terror over a tiny fraction Muslims who join mad cults, the cults of Christian fundamentalists are killing people at an American medical clinic because they oppose a woman's legal reproductive right to seek an abortion. Republican presidential candidates are openly calling for a tiered class system based on religious belief that is supported by the majority of their voters. They won't be content at stopping there, but just imagine the possibilities that will bring if elected.
