Ravi Zacharias wrote in his book Jesus Among Other Gods, "Philosophically, you can believe anything, so long as you do not claim it to be true.  Morally, you can practice anything, so long as you do not claim that it is a 'better' way.  Religiously, you can hold to anything, so long as you do not bring Jesus Christ into it.  If a spiritual idea is eastern, it is granted critical immunity; if western, it is thoroughly criticized."  This is so painfully true.  If I go around and Christian-bash and take people to court over separation of church and state, I'm considered progressive.  If I make fun of some Muslims and take some Hindus to court, I'm a hateful extremist.  Why the difference?  Because America hates Christianity.  Our country will do whatever it possibly can to erase God from the picture.  And why is this?  Because Christianity is true.  It Christianity was as ridiculous as one of the eastern religions, there'd be no need to refute it.  But as it is, it presents a threat to all those who don't believe it.  So by dismissing its claims, people can justify their actions and continue to live how they want. #religion
