Second-rate superstitions

Tom Delay at the "War on Christians" conference last week:

Last Tuesday Mr. DeLay spoke at "The War on Christians" conference during which he agreed with the central theme - that there is, indeed, a "war on Christians" in America today. He went on to say that America treats Christianity like a "second-rate superstition."

Christianity is indeed a superstition, as are all religions. That isn't the problem--the perceived negative connotations associated with the word "superstition" are the believer's problem, not my own. I don't think merely the fact that religions are superstitious is necessarily a reason to view those beliefs as illegitimate. However, regarding Christianity as practiced by people like Tom Delay and this guy, "second-rate" is being a bit generous, I think.

I'll say this much for the ID'ers: at least they've got the good sense not to hold up such absurdities as their idea of "evidence."
