My point is that it is not necessarily religious bigotry that drives the 35% of Americans to say they would not vote for a mormon. If anything it is political bigotry.

So you and NS think that 35% of the polled group state they will refuse to vote for a mormon not becasue of mormon-ness but becasue they percevei that any mormon must as a matter of necessity be aligned with the conservative christian coalition? THat seems pretty unlilkey to me.

I'm sure in that 35% are a whole bunch of Evangelical Christian bigots.

I think one can make a pretty good argument that it is. Agnosticism has a better claim of not being a religion, IMO. Certainly is more "rational".

Rule of thumb: do not tell people they should not be offended.
