Nut not at all surprising. When thousands of brainwashed people insist 
that the guy who thought long and hard about an issue, and concluded it 
was absurd, is mentally ill, because he didn't just "accept the truth", 
never mind that not one of them did either, but had to be force fed it 
for the first 10 years of their lives, before they started accepting it 
as fact, the reaction to such over the top accusations of defects isn't 
going to be, "Ah, well.. That's your opinion. Lets just go see a movie."

This is especially true if the same brainwashed legions are trying 
everything they can to undermine everything from whether you are allowed 
to hold office without being properly brainwashed, to what, if any, 
movies get shown, because they might not conform to proper brainwashing 
dogma. The problem is not of course so much religion as blind ideology 
and a refusal to see the end negative results of following it. The UN 
and, to some extent, some European countries, are making similar 
mistakes in their willingness to either try to ban, or blindly accept, 
certain things, which, ironically, we are all too aware tend to be the 
first step in creating a closed door, delusional, and potentially 
dangerous cult in the first place. I.e., forcing the people who believe 
certain symbols out of the public eye, by banning the symbols, like 
Germany has done with certain old WWII garbage. Some guy publishing a 
book about UFOs is an annoyance, some guy **secretly** publishing tracts 
on how unfair it was that the master race lost, is dangerous. By the 
same token, someone secretly publishing total nonsense about space 
aliens, and having the law back them while trying to hide it gets you.. 
Scientology, while some wacko talking about white power in public nets 
them derision and entirely the *wrong* sort of interest, if you want 
people to take you seriously, in large numbers.

The only major problem the US has is that it absolutely ***refuses*** to 
treat faith, no matter which of the tens of thousands of version we are 
talking about, the same way as some moron babbling about white power on 
the street corner. Some of us are. We spent over 150 years losing by 
being nice, while they used every form or rhetoric and hate speech they 
could against us. Its our turn to present the truth in a way that is 
sufficiently aggressive that people will notice, over top all the loud 
mouth lunatics ***still*** yelling about how unfair the world is being 
to their 90% of the population and 99% of all the political power, 
because they, "wah! wah!", don't have 100% believers in the US and 100% 
of the political power, so must, logically, be "persecuted".
