"Christian bashing is the new national pastime. [sic]"
Actually, I'm pretty sure that going to church is still the national pasttime. Polling shows that 40% of Americans go to church at least once a week, or claim to.
What other activity do we engage in as a group, in such large numbers, on a weekly basis? Christian bashing? Ya because one hundred million Americans get together and do that every week in big buildings?
90% of the country describe themselves as Christians. One could reasonably assume that only the other 10% would be doing any "Christian bashing," no? So every single 24 million of them would have to Christian bash for at least an hour at a time, at least 4 times a week, in a public place, just to balance the churchgoing people enough where you could even start to say that it was the national pasttime.
Oh, and Christian bashing is so en-vogue that only atheists get elected to public office, right? Oh wait, it's the other way around, isn't it?
Poor little persecuted majority. I guess I see your point.
