Can someone please explain?
Newt Gingrich, speaking at Liberty University:
"In hostility to American history, the radical secularists insist that religious belief is inherently divisive," Gingrich said, deriding what he called the "contorted logic" and "false principles" of advocates of secularism in American society.
"Basic fairness demands that religious beliefs deserve a chance to be heard," he said during his 26-minute speech. "It is wrong to single out those who believe in God for discrimination. Yet, today, it is impossible to miss the discrimination against religious believers."
A chance to be heard? Discrimination against people who believe in God?
Around 95% of people in this country profess to believe in God, it is virtually impossible for a non-believer to be elected to any sort of position above Condo Association president and mainstream media outlets like Time, Newsweek and my own hometown newspaper routinely cover religious issues in an almost entirely positive light.
So, can someone please explain to me exactly how the religious are marginalized and discriminated against? I'm serious, I would like a perspective from someone who feels this way.
It seems to me there is a huge gulf between not being catered to in every way and being discriminated against.
