Khyati Y. Joshi argues equal religious freedom in America is an optical illusion

From the article:

The image of President Donald Trump standing in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church holding up a Bible perfectly encapsulates the point of Khyati Y. Joshi’s new book, “White Christian Privilege: The Illusion of Religious Equality in America.”

In the United States, one religion is more equal than others.

Joshi, professor of education at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey, argues that while America offers religious freedom, true religious equality is a myth.

In every way, Christianity, especially of the white Protestant variety, undergirds the nation’s institutions and practices. Other faiths are seen as abnormal or unusual.

1. Orwellian, all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others...

2. Many Christians seem to conflate "ecumenical" with "religious freedom"

Or in short, you're free to believe in Jesus christ in any way you want.

Which, to a non-Christian, is like henry ford saying you can have a car in any color you want as long as it's black.
