Oh, the irony of this post. You do realize that Christianity has held a privileged position in the US for decades, and with a changing population, it's stating to lose that privilege. It's ironic that you are blasting people for a lack of self-awareness, when you can't see how movement towards equality is not anti-Christian or oppression. Perhaps it's you that needs better self-awareness on what is actually occurring.

If you're out there running around hating on brown people and others not like yourself, turning your nose up at the sick, the poor, the elderly and saying you don't want any of your money to go to help them, if you are turning away refugees and so on, then sorry but you aren't a Christian. You aren't a Christian because you've rejected some of the core teachings attested to in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Maybe you're enamored with some of the hateful fire-and-brimstone stuff of the Old Testament, but that certainly doesn't make you a Christian, and rejecting Christ's teachings pretty much negates your Christianity outright.

I highly doubt any christian is unable to take Christmas, Easter or Good Friday off from work. Most school systems close for these things.

Guess not.

OFFS. Are you standing up for co-workers who want to take off holidays that aren't Christian? No, no you are not. And you do not for one minute see that as "anti-Hindu" -- you see it as anti-everyone-wanting-time-off-for-their-own-beliefs-when-it-isn't-convenient-for-me.

Also, no one needs to take off Good Friday, FFS.

The entitlement on display is astounding. What about the important holidays of other religions that lack the lay resonance of Christmas?

And, sorry, homophobia is not a protected religious practice.

We are at slippery slope time. If someone is pro-choice, does that make them anti-Christian? If someone calls out the crimes in the Administration, does that make them anti-Christian? If anyone is Jewish, Hindu, Muslim or any other religion, does that make them anti-Christian?

I mean, we were asked report or call out other biases. Why is this different?

Although I think your examples are a little hyperbolic.
