In reply to the discussion: 'A threat to democracy': William Barr's speech on religious freedom alarms liberal Catholics [View all]Newest Reality

I said that intentionally and to some people it is clear. I have seen people here behave as if they are the same, and also as if all religion is similar or even bad. So, because I pay attention to the biases expressed, I qualified my statement.
You may notice that there is a lot of broad brushing about religion because generalizing is very common. This idea of variations and differences does apply broadly to other religions as well as political identification.
I just wanted to make that clear. I, too, often project a bias that people should know what I know because it is obvious to me. It is common.
