Attacking Christianity, Allegedly

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN said that he knew once and for all that he was not a Christian the day a minister strongly tried to convince him that he indeed was a christian, and indeed absolutely must be. Three hundred years later, Christians cry that there is a war against Christianity in America, a war being waged by the evil forces of liberalism and secular humanism, aided and abetted by the media, the court system, and academia. If all that is true, its a mighty powerful alliance of forces, and the Christians should perhaps consider an accommodation. However, the more you listen to the righteous Christian outcry, the more obvious it is that it simply isn't true, its a false alarm. What's really happening is that American society is, in the 21st century, evolving away from its centuries long pandering to one particular religion, and becoming truly inclusive and equal. The faith is not responding graciously to its inevitable loss of its special, privileged status. President Obama said "the United States is no longer just a Christian nation", and the Bible bangers went ape shit crazy with hatred, accusing the president of trying to marginalize, crush, destroy, and eradicate God, or some such melodramatic dishonest drivel. Obama was, quite obviously, simply telling the truth; there are indeed millions of non Christians in America, more than ever. The non Christians, for some strange reason, prefer to treat gay, lesbians and transgender people like human beings, with equality. That upsets the followers of Jesus Christ, just like the truth upsets them. By law, a law passed in 1797, the United States is no more a christian country than it is an Islamic country. Look it up. The American system was not founded on Judeo-Christian values; it was founded on ancient Greek and eighteenth century European values, values of science and reason. Christians have dominated numerically, and culturally. But there is room for everybody, including all the wonderful human beings of varying, not by choice sexual orientations, hypocritically condemned by many, many Christians as "sinners".
