Not the fringe out-liers you want to push them off.
No one said all, just that many belong to the extremes.
Or do you think the teachings of most Christian denominations (Catholics, SB, evangelicals, etc..) on Gay Marriage and birth control isn't regressive.
I think it is only our secular laws that prevent stoning these days.
