[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 75444316, member: 330042"] As somebody who has lived some of my life as somebody who didn't profess Christianity, I can tell you our culture is inundated with Christian symbols. Most atheists or Jews understand the New Testament better than the the average American Evangelical. In fact, alot of non-Christians in the US resent the popular notion that I was raised with as normative, that everyone in the US is supposed to have an opinion about Jesus, with at least a bit of automatic deference ("oh Jesus... he was a great prophet/rabbi/wise man, etc."... Even the Dalai Lama gets asked to speak about Jesus in the US, despite Jesus being a figure that has no role in Buddhism). This is but one example of how much Christianity inundates America's consciousness- it's literally something a person cannot avoid even if they wanted to. It is an unearned, rarely challenged privilege, to the point that the epiphet of the Christian deity is even on dollar bills, something that the US Supreme Court, curiously enough, doesn't consider "religious" (which is proof enough of the pervasive bias in our culture).
