    Do you mean that the ACLU is not out to destroy Christians in America?

    Impossible! They are in bed with the liberal agenda to destroy god, our way of life, and apple pie.

    You would have to be blind not to see it.

    This thread is about the token cases that somehow show they have no bias.

    ACLU is one of the hardcore anti-Christian organizations in the U.S.

    I guess those cases are also involved in the conspiracy.

    ACLU is an extremely liberal organization. As a general rule, Liberalism tends to be extremely anti-religion.

    Which is clearly not the case as demonstrated in this thread.

    Do you have anything else to add?

    Perhaps because religious people and organizations like to trample on the civil rights of others?

    Atheists and secular organizations like to trample on the civil rights of religious people.

    And I'm sure there are organizations that fight for the rights of those religious people too. It's probably a safe bet to assume there are more of them and that they have more resources since there are more religious people than not.

    Really? And what civil rights of the 90% of religious Americans have been trampled by the 10% of secularists?

    The majority of Americans are secular. While most may call themselves Christian, only about 25% of Americans are actively involved and practicing. And that troll picture doesn't work on me. I defend all religious people not just Christians.

    Which you completely failed to answer the very simple question.

    A vast majority of Americans believe in god, how can a tiny minority over rule that?

    What civil rights have been violated?

    What about it? The ACLU defends citizens whose civil liberties are infringed by other citizens--some of whom happen to be Christians.

    The ACLU defends religious organizations with regularity. Best not to deal in "general rules" when facts are available.

    Everybody likes to trample on the rights of those who are not exactly like them. Because, as a species, we lack objectivity.
