In this piece, Intellectual Insurgent compares “race pimps” to “religion pimps.”
“Strangely enough, however, the labelers who deny that anyone in America has a racist bone in his body are convinced that Christians are being persecuted by atheists in America. Atheists are currently persecuting Christians in America, as the nonsensical story goes, by saying happy holidays, by suggesting that intelligent design is not science and by not allowing a plaque of the Ten Commandments inside a courthouse. Let’s summarize. Whites, who are holding onto majority status by the skin of their teeth, have no racists among them, especially no racial animus toward Blacks who make up approximately 12 percent of the population. Atheists, a maximum of four percent of the population (but probably much less) are successfully persecuting the 96 percent of America who are Christians.”

“Since Christmas and Hanukkah generally fall within the same two-week period and since both are commercialized shadows of events that once resembled religion, one can only assume that the holidays (plural) to which Target, Wal-Mart and various cards refer when saying “Happy Holidays” are Christmas and Hanukkah. I have yet to understand how it is persecution to acknowledge Hanukkah? Why don’t the religion pimps admit they hate Jews and get it over with?”
TheStateOf . . . Religion in America. As I’ve said before, 9/11 rocked white America beyond belief. For the first time since Pearl Harbor, white Americans had their safety challenged directly, which resulted in enormous feelings of insecurity. When people feel insecure, they often turn to religion as an elixir. The problem is that many of the new-found “American Christians,” inexperienced, shallow and unfamiliar with Scripture, are easily led astray, towards meaningless issues like “Happy Holidays.”
