303. There are factions
in every culture, idea or political manner, and yes religion there is a faction of "We Agree, and We don't agree"

I know plenty of catholics, my neighbors for instance, are liberal in their beliefs. They have friends who are gay, they voted for Kerry, they are pro choice.

Try not to blanket an entire religion, the war is against fundies no matter what religious banner they hide behind. They exist in every religion and walk of life.

For me personally, I'm anti-organized religion, when your committing acts of violence people (crusades) in the name of God, or picking on a faction of a community (gays) it's wrong in any form, and in any religion, or group.

Target the group, but perhaps drop the fight against one faction. The tolerance in gays is stronger in among the general catholic population then among Christians, your alienating a potential ally.
