 You want to know why Christians have their panties in a bunch?  Because they used to have a lot of undeserved power and now that power is gone and they desperately want it back.  Christmas used to be their holiday.  Now it's not, in fact, now it's almost entirely secular.  They don't like that.  They used to be able to get away with sectarian religious displays on public property.  Now they can't and they're pissed.  These are things they should never have been able to do.  They could.  Now they can't.  They're playing it as discrimination.  In actuality, it's making things the way they should have been all along.

You missed the point of my post. Christians have got their panties in a bunch because of the atheists, humanists and secularists who are activists.

There are a lot of things that I think ostensibly atheist organizations out there are doing that I find an embarrassment to atheism, but I don't speak for them, they don't speak for me and everyone has the freedom to do what they want to do without having an effect on others.

So, you've finally agreed that there are atheist organisations whose members are activists. They don't speak for you but there are people out there who will assume that the activists do speak for you.

Which brings us back to NDT. From what he said in the video he doesn't want people assuming that he campaigns to get nativity scenes removed from public places etc.
