The Athens Banner Herald, on the other hand, reports that openly Christian university professors feel a bit out of sorts on the University of Georgia and other American campuses these days.

Several openly Christian professors tell the paper that it’s odd that they are considered eccentrics worthy of ridicule on campus when their views actually coincide with the majority of Americans. People who profess to be open-minded close shop when it comes to religion, they say, or at least some forms of religion.

"If supposedly open-minded intellectuals made the kind of remarks about people of Jewish faith that they make about Southern Baptists, they would be penalized, if not sued, for libel or slander, or denounced for their bigotry," English professor Jonathan Evans tells the paper.
