Meant to post this to the Denver Post Comments community. In any case, while it's nice that Kafer called out xtian nationalism in her original column, she had to slip what I've heard driftglass call "the razor in the apple" in there. The cons just really cannot help themselves.
The razor:
The atheist communist government in China mercilessly persecutes Muslims and to a lesser degree Christians.
The important thing for everyone to remember is that atheism is simply the lack of belief in gods. It can't cause anyone to do anything. Christianity on the other hand is the driving motivator for repressive laws meant to subjugate and punish "others" based on the wants and needs of a non-existent imaginary sky friend.
Also, China might be atheist but the Nazis were Christians.
China worships the party (CCP) and country (nationalism).
