I am not speaking of bias in general, but specifically anti-Christian bias.Christianity certainly takes the most flack around here, but is that really surprising? I'm guessing that the vast majority of the forum members are either from North America or Europe, with a few other nationalities thrown in for good measure. The dominant religion is Christianity in these regions so it's only natural that the lion's share of attention in the forums is focused on it. I don't think it's fair to paint in such broad strokes and say that the entire board has an anti-Christian bias though. Yeah, it is discussed the most, but that's only because it is the religion that affects the vast majority of us the most.
And to be honest, many individuals are biased against your religion for very valid reasons. Christianity has infiltrated the political arena and now forms the basis for efforts to shape and enact laws. I have no issue with Christianity in and of itself. Believe whatever you want to believe. It's cool with me even if I don't agree with it. Hell, I'll even drink a beer with you. The problem comes when people start using Christianity to impose their beliefs on me and the society I am a part of.
