If he's using most religious as the defining value than he should move himself to a city in Iraq.
Fair play!

Yeah, because Christians are such a small minority of the U.S. population. In U.S., 77% Identify as Christian And Christian principles are the basis for our republican democracy. And God is mentioned 5 times in the Declaration of Independence, and once in the U.S. Constitution. Oh yes, Glenn Beck referring to religion as a measure of social factors is so non-mainstream, and JUST like the Islamic jihadists in Iraq !
- from Do Racists have lower IQ's...
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.

He doesn't just use it as a measure though but as "the" measure. Identifying as Christian however doesn't automatically mean better though.
Fair play!

would this be a bad time to point out that the statistical majority of Christians in America don't necessarily caucus with what Glenn Beck thinks is an appropriate platform for good American Christians?
