Can we call "faith-based" for what it is? Faith-based means "evangelical Christian-based." Evangelical Christianity is pernicious. It has no place in a tolerant, secular, multi-cultural society.

I would like to say that though I agree that "faith-based" in fact does in effect mean "evangelical Christian-based", I will not go down the "it has no place" path. It is no more right for me to deny evancelical Christians a place in society than it is for them to attempt to deny my lesbian butt a place in that society. I do not ask that evangelical Christians be banned. I only ask that they not be allowed to ban me. That allows for the "tolerant" and the "multi-cultural".

Tell me, could that be you?
