Go ahead, read the article.
Yeah, like that. As an Ex-Christian, I know the multiple varieties there are out there. As many as there are churches, even within the same denomination. The old joke about getting three Pagans together and finding they have five opinions about something? Originally was Baptists.
Fact is, Protestant Christianity is still the "default" assumption in this country. Even minorities and immigrants are assumed to be some flavor of Christian, unless they are "obviously Middle Eastern", then they are assumed to be some virulent, fanatical form of Wahhabi Islam. This is even in fairly liberal Silicon Valley, CA.
Fact is, I'd like to drive around my city without seeing some fundamentalist recruiting/religious sales crap posted up on a billboard. I am actually offended by the use of shitty billboards to push religion, or religious agendas (like anti-abortion screeds.) I don't care what it is you consider sacred, it shouldn't be hawked like banking services or underwear. People who are sold a religion because of a billboard need their fucking head examined, and a brain transplant, they are too shallow to live.

My Fav is the weird concept THEY ALL HAVE that we've NEVER heard of Christianity. There are Stone-Aged Tribes in the deepest Amazon or COngo that have....but they missed the middle of the Bible Belt somehow;>......
