Rant & Reason posted an entry: Bishop Jackson offended by inclusiveness in Obama address
It's incredible how clarifying analogies can be. Anti-Secularists who are conveniently situated in the privileged category so often attempt to hide their bigotry and selfishness with majority claims and appeals to numbers. This is a Christian nation!! Aside from that being a complete fallacy, it's not how democracy works. You can talk until you're blue in the face, or just give them a quick analogy.
Now you just have to make them understand how one bigotry is analogous to another.
The majority of Americans are white and our founders expressed white European values, so we must be a white nation, right?
