I'd like to see some evidence for the "growing" anti-christian sentiment in america. Especially in light of the fact that the vast majority of americans self identify as christians. Do you think more christians are speaking out about their own religion? That seems a tad silly to me. I think that it is much more likely that more people, including many christians, are getting fed up with the particular brand of christianity practiced by the christian conservative wing of the republican party. You know, the kind who errs on the side of life, unless that life is iraqi or a criminal.

And the reason you don't understand why the most "vocal and influential nutjobs in this country are christian" is because it's untrue. Your anti-Christian bias shines through.

You don't need to be antiichristian to complain about influential vocal christian nutjobs. My favorite pastor does it all the time. His thing, though, is that he understands that christianity is actually a mishmash of over 1500 different loosely connected denominations and sects.
