A prime example of "
If you are not with us, you're against us" mentality. This is generally the reason why non-Christians feel
alienated by "the church" and thus display
animosity toward it. Note that
atheists and agnostics rarely attack Jews or Buddists; thus the circle of negative feelings continues due to an unrelenting and immature view of non-Christians by many
Christian groups.
Pingouin also brings up an interesting point. The
U.S. is rooted in
Chistianity and thus geared unfairly against people who do not feel the same way that Christians do. Obviously, true
justice for all is merely an ideal and not a
reality or even a
possibility, yet
the scales are tilted almost
comically towards
Christian Ideals. Hopefully some day we will have a true
division of church and State.
