This would be because I don't care about what happened 'over the centuries', I care about the present and the future as those are what I live in and will live in, and after I shuffle off this mortal coil what my daughter will live in.

Get real: wear your 'man-on-a-stick' idol *inside* your shirt and educate your kids *before* the dreadful sex education teachers get a chance!

I very specifically said I am not a religious man. My issue lies with Christians being discriminated against relative to other religions. I personally could not care less if all religion disappeared tomorrow but what I do care about is that there is at very least a perception to prefer other religions over Christianity. Either equal rights to all of them or no rights at all, either works for me, not having one rule for Christians another for Muslims yet another for Sikhs, another for Jews, etc.
