Sorry to nitpick, but these two quotes stuck out at me:

> "I bet you a pile of cash not one of those self-righteous a--holes would even think about adopting a non-white kid someone found in the subway."

Having known several families from the religious right who have done exactly this, I would be happy to accept your pile of cash. There, now we can let my anecdotal evidence cancel out the hasty generalization.

> "This country will be far better off when we start to seriously pull away from fanatical religiously-motivated phobias, discrimination and down-right bigotry."

While this may be true, one should not take it as an excuse to indulge in non-religiously-motivated bigotry.

For instance, the book "The Blind Side" [1] is about a black kid who got adopted by an evangelical family.

I am not generalizing other than to say that the hyper-religious right-wing white population has been known for being less than tolerant.

There are good people everywhere, religion has very little to do with being good and neither does sexual orientation.
