But make no mistake - even in progressive strongholds like San Francisco, the overwhelming majority of the populace professes christianity. Don't get me wrong, by the way - I don't think christianity is bad per se, but I do think that the way its been insinuating itself into the government over here is a bit scary.DeeKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488546194663391947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660381682597935878.post-29578526433670610142008-12-13T11:47:00.000+01:002008-12-13T11:47:00.000+01:00Not to defend what's geoing on in the States.

However, wouldn't you say that at least part of the process of places becoming more conservative has to do with the great mobility of people in the US, resulting in liberals banding together on the coasts and in liberal cities like Austin?<BR/><BR/>But it's true religious nuttism does seem to be on the rise worldwide.Sahand Sahebdivanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15544275151836931298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660381682597935878.post-80529053093831091392008-12-13T07:00:00.000+01:002008-12-13T07:00:00.000+01:00Your optimism is. . .good.

For example,the United States has made great strides on racial and gender equality, but it's falling behind in religious equality. In large parts of the country, not being a christian is considered somewhat not done. You can usually get away with not being a southern baptist though, so that's good ;)DeeKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488546194663391947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660381682597935878.post-48775738293707662402008-12-13T06:58:00.000+01:002008-12-13T06:58:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.DeeKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488546194663391947noreply@blogger.com
