Nearly 50% of Democrats believe Christians are a bigger threat to the US than Muslims

Yeah, christians are definitely the bigger threat inasmuch as if someone, tomorrow, does something that negatively affects me, it's a lot more likely they're a christian than a muslim, seeing as my town has about 38,000 christians and, what, 500 muslims?

More specifically, the political power in this country is 99% in the hands of christians. I occasionally mention to people who are like "I wouldn't want to go to a big city because there might be a terrorist attack" that they're about 5,000x more likely to die in the car ride on the way there. Similarly, I would suggest to anyone who's worried about a muslim shooting them that it's about 50,000x more likely a christian is going to try to use political power to harm them. Now, obviously, dying is, ahem, a touch worse than being told you have to wait longer for an abortion or that you can't get married. But people are really bad at multiplying [magnitude of harm]x[probability of harm], focusing almost entirely on the first one.

So, yeah, I think the article is misleading, and doesn't really say much, but I agree with the premise that, in my current situation, right now, as a 26-year-old white male american atheist, christianity is a bigger threat to me than islam. As others have said above, that's almost entirely demographics.
