Does anyone here think there is too much religious entitlement here on DU?

356. I think it's an interesting conversation.

Worth a few electrons anyway. Here is my litmus test;

Find an org that is secular or unrelated to religion in any way, that actively lobbies, and campaigns on social positions like, abstinence only education, no contraceptives, no sex outside marriage, no same sex marriage, no physician assisted suicide, gender proscription for certain positions, all of that together, plus more, and see if you could post something positive about the leader of such an org in General Discussion, without sorely testing your flame-resistant underwear.

If you can't think of such an org, then at least one religion enjoys a level of privilege here at DU that a non-religious org of the same nature would not enjoy. I think the negative comments that the RCC/Pope gets in GD, when appropriate threads arise in that venue, pale in comparison to say, something positive about Hobby Lobby or similar entity, that holds similar positions.


Does that qualify as 'religious privilege' as it does for certain gender or racial privilege issues? I don't know. But it's an interesting conversation to observe or maybe poke here or there. I might even learn something.
