I realize that. I was posting more out of concern for how what you first posted might be construed, rather than what I understood you to be saying as such. I have a little more thought on the matter, but rather than highjack this thread anymore (other than what's below), I've PM'd you.

Except that it's not, Tom. To say it is shows disrespect for sincerely-held religious beliefs by glossing over distinctive and differing beliefs rather than by actually trying to understand them. It amounts to ignorance and disrespect masquarading as tolerance and acceptance.
