Thread:User talk:WaitingforGodot/Trying to prevent RationalWiki judging Christianity too harshly/reply (9)

Those of us who actually watch the news would like to point out that whenever the Church gets itself in the papers it's always about either a) it's stamping on gay marriage rights b) it's stamping on women's rights to be ordained or c) it's about another scandal. So I don't think this "mainstream media" accusation really holds up to scrutiny. Indeed, religion is getting a pounding on all sides these days, you can't really use the depiction of Christianity in the popular media fuel a atheistic persecution complex.
