Watching a cable TV network the other day (I think it was CNN), I saw a brief discussion between a liberal and one of CNN’s token conservatives regarding the question of whether or not the Democrat party is hostile to religion.  In the discussion, the word “religion” obviously had reference above all to Christianity.  Nobody was talking about Islam or Buddhism or Hinduism, and probably not even Judaism.

The conservative asserted that the Democrat party is hostile to religion.  The liberal denied this.  To prove his point, the liberal reminded listeners that blacks are a major fraction of the Democrat party and that these same blacks are almost all of them Christian believers.  How absurd, then, to say that the party is anti-religious.
