You also hit a major problem when you're comparing a belief system with a race.

When people say 'The world would be better off without evangelical Christianity', they don't mean 'fire up the furnaces'. They want people to stop believing in something that they think as a belief is harmful to society.

Its really a fallacious argument to try and make people who wish that a belief that they think is out-dated and harmful to go away look like they are trying to make a holocaust happen.

In the 1930s most people who were upset with the Jewish population in Europe were also not suggesting genocide, and a very intelligent and evil individual used them as scapegoats to promote his own agenda.

If you have a problem with a stance why wouldn't you argue against that stance rather than use stereotypes and prejudice to turn a group of people into scapegoats?

You do know that christians are the vast overwhelming majority compared to the non-religious right? And evengelical christians are saying the same thing about every other religion and the non-religious as well.


"Radical islam needs to be wiped out, gays need to get back in the closet, atheists are incapable of being moral....what did you just say about Evengelicals??? NOT FAIR! WHY IS EVERYONE ALWAYS PICKING ON US EVENGELICALS??!?!? IT'S JUST LIKE THE JEWS IN NAZI GERMANY, SOON WE'RE GOING TO BE PUT IN THE OVENS BY THIS...minority....wait, what? We vastly outnumber them? We have more politcal power, more money, and more influence? Well still, you can't talk like that about Jesus Followers!"

 

The entire notion that christianity needs protecting from these small minorites that have negative views about their beliefs is absurd. And arguments to try and make it seem wrong to crtisize an ideology are equally absurd.
