18. A problem? Yes

A huge problem? No.

Utah has a huge problem with religious entitlement, many southern states have a huge problem, the middle east has a huge problem with it, but comparatively speaking DU is populated with some vocal religionists who have difficulty playing in a world that includes reality and other believers that don't have that problem. Vocal minorities in general have more power in this venue (DU) than they deserve but that's the way of things. I don't think there is much we can do about it except keep it in check the best we can and don't use their tactics.
