I also think in the US there are regional differences that get confused with religious ones. For example the South truly gets a bad rap. Not for a second do I think people below the Mason-Dixon line are anything like their detractors say. They just do things a little differently.
Well-educated, intelligent, and overall thoughtful contributors like Little Rik, Drich, and MysticKnight; for instance.

For a long time I collected Chick comics just because they were so appalling. I don't believe they are representative of what the vast majority of Christians believe.
And unless it's believed by a vast majority, you can pretend it inconsequential and we're being irrational for not ignoring it, eh? Like the vast majority of white people aren't members of the KKK, so it's unreasonable to spend time criticizing the KKK. I mean, why bring them up when most white people aren't like that?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
