Will the overwhelming majority please stand up? Please stand up

Christianity is plummeting in America, while the number of non-believers is skyrocketing.

Well, when you have a supermajority, there's really no place to go but down. Although, it could lead you to becoming a... minority! Just read this!

In the coming months, America will become a minority Protestant nation for the first time since the pilgrims.

The implications for American society are profound. Americans’ relationship with God, which drove many of the country’s great transformations from the pilgrims to the founding fathers, the Civil War to the civil rights movement, is still intact. Eighty-two percent of Americans believe in God or a higher power.

But at the same time, the study offers yet another wake-up call for religious institutions.

Today, the rise of disaffection is so powerful that different denominations needs to band together to find a shared language of God that can move beyond the fading divisions of the past and begin moving toward a partnership of different-but-equal traditions.

Or risk becoming Europe, where religion is fast becoming an afterthought.

When I was reading this, I was reminded of the morons who think any kind of move towards equality is oppressing them. White people becoming less of a majority? Racism. Women on average getting paid slightly more (but still less than men)? Sexism. Same-sex marriage? Asking for special rights. Affirmative action? Reverse discrimination.

However, this did give me a brilliant idea for how to fight the real bigotry in America: look only at the first derivative. Don't look at numbers, look at the change in them. Demand that the change be equal across all groups. Every time a group that's behind starts to catch up, you get affirmative action to get back ahead further!

For example, the number of men in congress has gone down over the past few decades while the number of women has gone up. Obviously, this is oppressing men. To make up for it, we need to require that all congressional candidates next election be men. It's the only way to stop the oppression.
