Well then, just let me say that my personal experience departs considerably from yours (although I had not been principally relying on personal experience). From that we might draw the lesson that both of us should be a little careful about how sweeping a conclusion we might draw from our personal experience.
My personal experience includes the observation that millions of people were denied basic human rigts, were relegated by law to the back of the bus (literally and figuratively) and that Christians of the time voted for the politicians that enacted thoses laws. Dose your recollection contradict mine? Perhaps you'd share your version of history with us.
