While I hate bigotry I also hate my well intended left thinking taboos and trying to protect religion from getting offended, there is a HUGE difference between Trump's xenophobia and selling fear, and blasphemy of religion. But the left over corrects and allows those who justify bigotry, sexism, homophobia and violence.
But, it is good to see some still in religion get it, that "secular" is not the evil commie Stalin cold war slur people make it out to be.
Many remember Ben Aflack condeming Bill Maher and Sam Harris and Ayaan Hirsi Ali for rightfully pointing out that the Quran and Hadiths have made the Middle East far to theocratic, violent and divided.
Here is a still Christian, but saw that falsely using "Islamophobe" was the wrong tactic and now agrees with those above that it is simply a way to shut down critcism.
Having said that, what sickos like Trump sell is xenophobia. And the irony of the GOP selling the fear that freedom of religion will end if Jefferson's wall is maintained, is also sick. None of us should want the west to look like the Middle East. Now here is a Christian using that far to demonize word "secular", just as I use it properly. Our right wing Christians miss the point of what liberals say, now here you have a Christian saying what atheists have been saying for years.
