What I don’t get is how some people will claim to defend minorities and condemn Christianity (or Catholicism specifically) when 38% of all Catholics are Latino and 77% of Latinos are Christian; 79% of blacks (or African-Americans take your pick) are christians (mainly baptist affiliated at 35%)

Frederick Douglass was a preacher.

Pick one. Condemn organized religion or continue to pretend like you represent an entire race.
