My only problem with this is that he calls it a "religion". I see it as a totalitarian tribal ideology. Note that when the schoolers in California were required to adopt a muslim name and pretend to be muslim for a week, it was presented as a "culture". If it is a "culture" for expediency, it can't be a religion. I am Christian. That applies here, or overseas. It isn't culture, it's religion. My Christianity doesn't change for the expediency of the situation. There is the goal of truth, not the elevation of lie. (refusing to provide a capital letter on muslim is on purpose. They don't even deserve that amount of respect.)
That's 3 years old, and just as relevant today as it was then....
