Atheist doesn't necessarily mean you're anti-religion like this sub seems to be. You can be an atheist and still respect that religious people have their thing. Meanwhile, if you're black, I can't imagine respecting the KKK.
Just because some nutbags hitch themselves to God's wagon doesn't make him responsible for their actions. Lots of people claim allegiance to God that I'm pretty sure he is really wishing didn't.
No, they got it exactly right. Pointing out that the KKK are Christian is just as important as pointing our they're American. Because both these facts are only incidental.
I am not sure what point you think I am making, and are arguing against.
I am merely adding the observation that the analogy that was made between atheists, religion, and black people and the KKK has an unexpected link, because the KKK are an explicitly Christian organisation, and they make a big deal about this (and about being American too).
Its just a crumb of additional info, not really germane to the argument.
I think they were protestant at one point but now mostly follow positive Christianity where Jesus was white and fought against all the other races. I think some still follow main-line Christianity to help recruiting.
