While I Rarely Recommend George Will Columns...

he's been occasionally making sense lately (perhaps the bow tie is no longer cutting off his oxygen).

This one (entitled "The Christian Complex") concerns the claims that there is a "war" on people of faith, and finds it bogus.

I'd take it one step farther. I would argue that there is an assault on America by people of faith, a small percentage who is awfully loud and arrogant.

Yet here's a hoot. I'm not sure these people are faithful at all. Was Jesus' message one of intolerance, hatred, and condescension? Or are they hiding behind the Bible to spew their particular flavor of hatred against anyone they despise, fear, or simply don't understand?
