Whut?
pp here- I believe it's meant to further legitimize discrimination against the gay and trans communities (you know, for "religious reasons") and many of the of the Evangelical people are I know are offended if you express that you are not religious.

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.

This is my post. I won't engage further except to note that the posts between this response and my original post provide at least some support for my point.
They support the point that you are a hypocrite, if you only want your days off and don't support the rights of others to take their days off.
And I don't see people of other religions foisting policy down your throat the way "pro-life" is foisted on everyone else.

Eliminate all religious federal holidays.
Eliminate church marriages for civil unions.
That’s the only way Christians won’t feel attacked. I lived in China and didn’t get PTO for Christmas. They only have national federal holidays, which for us would be July 4th and maybe Thanksgiving.

Are they making hostile comments about the "tenants of Christianity" or are they just criticizing right-wing politics?
Starting in the 1970s, evangelical Christianity has become less of a religion and more of a right-wing political movement.
We're pretty much at this point making fun of all the conservative religious people of the world. Get over it people. Your religion isn't what you were brainwashed to think it was. Love everyone.

+1 Not getting PTO on Good Friday is exactly the same as not getting PTO on Yom Kippur. It is not evidence of anti-Christian bias, but evidence of absence of bias. But that PP should be forewarned that the new Christian Nationalism is an evangelical zionist movement. They are currently using Catholics, but they will start turning on the papists when they're trying to decide which bible to use in the public schools (King James, no doubt) and force the kids to have rapture drills and learn about unicorns while cancelling Copernicus. They're not giving you PTO for Good Friday, either.

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.
