When I read the subject line, my immediate reaction was "What is Religion?" (remember, your answer must come in the form of a question).
Surprisingly, as you point out, the "statistician" can't seem to produce any statistics to the contrary. You just have to accept that you're wrong based on his position. How many times have you heard that?
Let's look at our top three:
Evangelical Churches
Mormons
Jehovah's Witnesses
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is or is not this group of religious types synonymous with dumb-assery?
So here we are on a Ex-Mormon board where you would think folks are at least semi-enlightened about the fraud all religion really is and you still have to endure this s**t:
"Second Class citizen really? If you just lived your life most people wouldn't even know or care that your gay. It's the constant grandstanding and agenda that drives people crazy. I can't read anything or watch the news without a gay agenda. I could care less what someone does in the bedroom why is this a constant topic."

I'll wager dollars to donuts the good captain shared the same sentiments during the Civil Rights movement. These types just move from hating one group to another as the current trend allows. Don't know what captain's religious affiliation is, but I bet it starts with a "C".
This is a laugher:
It's not a "who"; it's a "what".
The Old Testament, which clearly forbids homosexuality.
The New Testament, which clearly forbids homosexuality.
The Qu'ran, which clearly forbids homosexuality.
As long as there are "people of the book", there will be people who disapprove of homosexuality.
God, for instance."
http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,518779,518895#msg-518895What is a god or a book without blind followers? Just a joke. But the joke becomes extremely dangerous when the blind followers get involved.
For example:

Getting back to the stat guy:
"MJ everyone is a second class citizen. The establishment treats us all like crap. Unless you are a banker who can buy off politicians you are a second class citizen and you are owned."
http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,518779,519010#msg-519010Let me see, MJ. If I compile and analyze the Rub's data, you become a third-class citizen as you don't share the same rights as second-class citizens. How does that make you feel?
And finally, from your original post:
"I think it safe to say that if it were not for the devoutly religious people in the USA, gays would already have full equal rights."
No doubt about that as this thread clearly demonstrates.
I'm not even gonna touch the "Homosexual Lobby" thang. That's a level of dumb-assery that no form of education can correct.
Thanks for the info, Bro!
