This report, though not this study itself, comes from the Southern Baptist news website:

'Cause they don't have an anti-gay agenda.
Or anything.
As we all know.

Youre misinterpreting what Im saying.financeguy said:
"...I don't agree with homosexuality..." - this to me is about as logical as saying "....I don't agree with blue eyes...." or "...I don't agree with deafness....", or any one of numerous genetically determined attributes!
"Sometimes I feel like I'm treated the same way for being a Christian" - Well, gays are beaten up and attacked and in some cases killed for being gay.Does this happen to Christians? Maybe in some parts of the world, but certainly not in America, unless I have missed something.

i am sorry people have discriminated against you simply for being a Christian. that's as unacceptable as any other form of discrimination.
u2bonogirl said:I can tell you though, that Ive been threatened and physically attacked for being a Christian
and it was no different than when I saw one of my gay friends spit on in the hallway at school when I was in high school.
Just because you dont see something happening doesnt mean it doesnt happen

I wouldnt say that its commonplace. Certainly not as common as attacks on gays.financeguy said:
I am also sorry if you have been attacked/threatened for being a Christian. Are such incidents commonplace? Are Christians frequently attacked / threatened for being Christians, in America?
I do not know the answers to these questions, but I do know that the overwhelming majority of US citizens describe themselves as Christian. I also know that this % is higher than in most Western countries. I also believe that Christianity gets a very fair hearing, to say the least, from the media.
