Religion as Weapon

Just another example of how the MSM is woefully ignorant on religion - any religion.

When a Dem says he/she is a Christian the press says he/she is a good guy/gal. When a Repub says the same the press says he/she is a bad guy/gal.
From a post over at Public Vigil: The press has discovered that Protestants are not Catholic.

"When did being a mainstream Protestant even become an issue in American politics? When that Protestant actually takes her faith seriously and formulates her political campaign on Christian principles.

If Michele (Bachmann) were a faithful Catholic, then we would be warned about her allegiance to the Pope. That's always been standard procedure for the secular press. Now it seems like any Christian presidential candidate is going to come under attack from the secular press one way or the other."

"Amazing how humanists care nothing about religion unless they can use it to justify one of their "human rights" campaigns. Homosexuals suddenly wanting the blessing of the Church for their orgies comes to mind.
Suddenly, the secular humanists are the latest and greatest defenders of the papacy against the attacks of the Lutherans."
