Because mother goose or grimm's doesn't insufferably pretend to be something other than a fairly tale, nor do people who read them attempt to geather political influence to force me to conform to any rediculous stricture that might be gleam from them, nor do they attempt to seat themselves on school boards to push any bullshit about the universe contained within fairy tales at the expense of science to my children.
So they are harmless. Think of Mother Goose or Grimm's as if they were gesting with a water pistol, which is funny to watch. Think of Christianity as doing its bestial best to assault human rationality and spiritual independence with IEDs, which is dangerous.
Just so you don't feel singled out, we hate the Koran as well, as well as any other ancient fairytale text that is extensively used as a unchallengeable basis for constricting modern human thought.
