I haven't seen any discrimination towards xians. Atheists, on the other
hand, are discriminated against more than just about anybody today. They're
one of the few groups that it's ok to discriminate against. Could you cite
some examples of christians being discriminated against?
The American Criminal Liberties Union (ACLU) constantly litigates
against any symbol of Christianity that it can find.

How about some examples where they have defended Christians?

Hope this helps.
Not at all. The ACLU is a bunch of hard-core leftists. Any good that
they do is purely accidental.
So, in other words, you didn't really want to be provided with "some
examples where they have defended Christians." Why'd you ask, then?
Cheers,
Craig

There, I fixed it for you.
You edited my post and you lied. The ACLU doesn't care about the
Constitution, nor do they care about litigating against any other
religion, making the ACLU hypocrites.
Hindus and Zoroastrians have no monuments to their beliefs in U.S. court houses,
and no advertisements for their deities on U.S. currency, or acknowledged as Master over
the country by school children in public schools. In a hypothetical land where no green-eyed
people ever commit armed robbery, there are no prosecutions of green-eyed folks for that crime
(except, perhaps, by mistake.) That your brand of mythology alone has the influence to move
government to affront the Constitution (or used to have, which is what all this pissing and
whining is about, isn't it?) is the entire reason that a legal action organization, doing
exclusively pro bono work in favor of Constitutional principles, has xians' sacred cows
in its crosshairs. Drop your "xians own the country, so government should honor our religion"
attitude, and they'll look a lot less threatening to you.

That's because christianity is the most popular cult in the US. When, say,
Buddhists put statues of Buddha in courthouses in Alabama, the ACLU will
sue.
The ACLU is about sticking up for the little guy, not sticking it to xians.

The ACLU has never done much more than be a partisan, left wing
foundation. Case in point: Last year, in New York City Schools, the
ACLU made it so the star of crescent and minora could be displayed in
classrooms, but a cross couldnt.
Source please?
