re: #85 CuriousLurker

So I was just going through Pew Research Center’s December 2012 report, The Global Religious Landscape, which is based on census data from 2010 and shows maps of the regional distribution of various religions including the “unaffiliated” (which includes atheists & agnostics, but doesn’t preclude some sort of religious/spiritual belief).

I decided to compare only the 3 Abrahamic religions & the unaffiliated and ignore the rest (Hindus. Buddhists, etc.) since there aren’t any western fears about them, AFAIK. Take a look at the distribution of Jews & Muslims in the West as compared to Christians & the unaffiliated and kindly explain to me how in the hell some people are convinced that the former two groups are an impending threat to the culture—nay, the very existence—of the latter two.

WTF, people? You are SO being played by the RWNJ fear mongers.
