Surprising coming from a newspaper in Kentucky published today,looks like some of them are waking up "On the plus side, it might finally furnish us a dose of much-needed reality, not to mention humility. Maybe we’ll open our eyes and ears to those who differ in color or beliefs. Maybe it’ll become clearer to us that we don’t possess all the answers for everyone, and never did." When people sometimes call the United States a Christian nation, they mean different things, depending on who’s talking. Whatever your concept of our country as Christian — that is, if you have such a concept — it probably needs rethinking in light of a new study of American religious identity. If you somehow picture the United States as made up primarily of white Christians, and even more specifically by white Anglo-Saxon Protestants — those infamous WASPs of lore — think again. That country, if it ever existed, is gone forever. Depending on your own frame of reference, you might reasonably consider that a good thing or a bad thing. Either way, white Christians are a vanishing breed. from 2006 to 2016, white Catholics declined from 16 percent to 11 percent of the U.S. population, and white mainline Protestants (Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists and such) fell from 18 percent to 13 percent. "Like a lot of geezers from the rural South, I came along when the overwhelming religious culture — in our part of the country, certainly — was white Protestantism. That’s not to say everybody was white, or devout, or even an occasional churchgoer. But white Protestant (and in my stomping grounds, largely Southern Baptist) assumptions formed the common language and common ethos. There were no 24-hour TV news networks or instantaneous, international Twitter feeds to contradict us." http://www.kentucky.com/living/religion/paul-prather/article174798611.html#storylink=cpy
so what, it means religious freedom is alive and well in this country, get used to it, not everyone believes in the same religion... nothing wrong with that
I am a white Anglo Saxon Protestant, but my religion has ALWAYS condemned the intolerant bigotry which the OP assumes it represents. . . . Furthermore, being a Christian simply because it is fashionable does NOT make one a Christian.
You like the vast majority aren't racist. The op makes threads like this quite often, perhaps to provoke racist people. You aren't the type of fish he's trying to hook.
Pathetically ironic ... I urge members to visit you account page, and review the threads you've authored ...
Them's the facts, Jack. You believed a bunch of crap, which assured Hillary of victory, powered on the New Electorate of Pajama Boys and "Minorities". Ooops! Democrat pollster Stanley Greenberg notes in the American Prospect that the Clinton campaign relied on computer models rather than data. As climate skeptic Pat Michaels puts it, data are the modeler’s burden.
