Also I think that that taboo is related to a trend of immigrants remaining Catholic while American Christians are largely protestant.

The taboo came from the fact that they thought their allegiance was towards the church rather than the country. It's the reason why Irish people faced discrimination early on. Their propaganda isn't much different from yours.

But yes, I'd like to see a move away from having faith at all.

Somebody that isn't well versed in metal would say that black metal is an offbrand death metal but to somebody in to metal might consider that to be completely ignorant.

Can you back up the idea behind that analogy in relation to catholicism versus other sects of christianity with evidence instead of the assumption that I don't know anything about religion because of my atheism?

It's really not. You're holding them accountable for their religion over the belief that they're supporting something that they aren't.

Can you back up with evidence that you do know something about either religion despite your atheism?

It comes more from the fact that you don't care about either, so to you they're pretty much the same thing. To you the differences are too insignificant to matter.

They may not believe that paedophelia is okay, but their actions are perpetuating the atrocities. Are you starting to see a theme here?

For one, I know that sects are of the same religion.

Anecdotal experience tells me athiests know more about religion than the religious. Which makes sense considering how ****ing ridiculous religion is.
