Quote:Being a Christian might help you out in some work places but no place that I've ever worked. I'd say they're definitely in the minority of people I've worked with, most people I work with and talk about religion are either atheist or Muslim. I think America takes Christianity more seriously than the UK though.Here, in our country of christian privilege, it simply helps not to be a muslim at all. Similarly, in the uk, you don't hear the usual suspects bitching about the anglican church.
Quote:A Christian having an advantage in a specific situation because they're Christian is real, but it's not real as in it's something they have, all the time, it's not attached to them if they go to a Muslim country. Or if you're the wrong type of Christian and get caught up in some sectarian conflict.Privilege is distinct from the sorts of situational advantages you're thinking of.
