133. That does seem to sum up what I have witnessed
around DU. "Religionists, however, have insidiously snuck into the public consciousness the notion that religious doctrines deserve special insulation from criticism, ridicule, and doubt."

I don't know if I can think of ANYONE who does not feel oppressed for one reason or another.

There is something about the Christian religion and the Jewish religion, as well - where it seems that there is a Biblical concept that they are and will be forever oppressed. As if it is somehow important to the identity of the group.

Like it binds them together or something.

This may be the case with other groups as well.
