I agree -- my experience with Evangelicals (having been one myself), is they will use whatever means they can to penetrated culture and influence. But then, if they are right about what they believe, they should, no? My thought is that if governments have too much authority then they invite these power struggles -- keep government limited and we are safer from these methods.
My recent post New Bibles: VB vs. CEB

Thanks -- you inspired me to write a post on this New Bible where I talk about this text's source and translation method compared to other Bibles. Is it important? Some will think not -- "Heck, the Bible is garbage anyway you translate it." Others may find translation issues informative.

Instead of cutting and pasting my post here, I supply this link if you are interested.

Yeah, I developed goals for my site besides just blogging. I am using Indexed posts in my Table of Contents (TOC) to constantly re-organize and categorize -- they offer me far more flexibilities than "Tags". People will click on my TOC far more than my tags. And I am trying to slowly build themes which I can come back to and enlarge as the writing muses move me. My goal, then, is to use these organized posts to create something in the future other than a blog post. And I can point readers to an Index which is annotated and allows easier self-guided readings.

I also go back an re-write and improve posts for the same reason -- something that many bloggers don't do. I think many bloggers look at their blog as a type of diary or journal and not a novel or research paper.

BTW, if you got this far, I added you to my blog roll. I hope some day to be added to yours. I wish WordPress allowed (as your site and Blogger does) recent posts of BlogRoll members to be listed -- I think readers love that sort of thing.
My recent post Poll Challenge

I find this true with political issues. Someone at a party will make a political statement and assume it was said softly enough that no one will challenge. Then we watch personalities emerge -- those who must confront every opinion may jump up and ignore the party feeling and challenge, others may calm their minds with "Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion." Some may calm their minds with "He is an ass but to hell if I will look like one too." Some may try a subtle reply to show disapproval while still keeping a good party feeling -- maybe with humor or self-deprecation.

There are lots of ways -- but "You are entitled to your opinion" is, as you say, bullshit. But there are lots of ways to respond -- and choosing ain't easy. Stopping and reflecting on desired outcome is important -- reflexive righteousness can be common ground for many theist and atheists alike, unfortunately.

Tag optimization point is great. I think few bloggers go through the trouble of organization, though. I am rethinking of fixing my tags now too after 3 years of blogging, I know how I want to organize -- in blogging it is hard to know where you are going until you get there, eh?

But your point of searching for common tags is excellent -- thank you, I will use that as part of my future decision process. I try to go through my blog every 6 - 8 months and clean it up and reconsider organization.
My recent post Black & White Deserts: On Blogging

I'd like to see a theist and atheist converse, realize the fundamental views they don't share and yet walk away rejecting that part of their worldview that would stop them from being close, true friends with the other. Instead they see their common points which they value more deeply. The theist would start saying good things about atheists, and the atheist would invite theists to his Solstice parties.

I agree, most people are blind to the default and unaware of its constant influence.

We need less gross, inaccurate generalization about religious groups. Measured discernment and focused criticisms are what I'd loved modeled on TV -- not bigots fighting for airtime.
My recent post Business Principles: Christian vs. Hindu

As an atheist who confront Christian privilege and openly confronts bigotry against GBLT bigotry in public conversations, here are my few thoughts:

(1) I read "Prothero's" book: Religious Literacy. The politically conservative side was very put off by his policy agenda (classic of liberals) to push yet another class on religion in the schools. I think some conservative reflexes may be less "privileged" in attitude then your first paragraph typifies -- well, for some of us.

(2) We must remember that todays privileged is tomorrow's minority. With even only self-interest in mind, this insight may help tame even the most blind privileged-bigot.

(3) I wonder what sort of air-time Christians get in Britain where they seem to complain of far less privilege.

I think your analysis is essential correct. Good post.

I agree -- the synergist cooperation of many voices should be nurtured.
While blogging, I have become more sympathetic with activists and learned to value their voices. I still write sympathetic posts toward religion (as I did today about Coffee as Religion) which piss off some atheists, but nowadays I fluctuate between harsher and more sympathetic posts. I have learned from both my fellow atheists and progressive religionists.
