Isn't this a comfy stereotype for lefties? Apart from the brimstone crowd -- always delirious -- I've noticed in my travels extended tolerance toward Muslims, Buddhists, What-Have-You-ists from Christians and Jews (and most Buddhists I've known were/are Jewish). The country is a bit more fluid and complicated than is sometimes represented here, where, if you took some posters' words seriously, you'd think we were under a Christian Nazi boot with barely enough room to breathe much less speak. For every knuckle-dragger, I'm willing to wager that there are 10 sensible people of faith.
