Not to throw stones at Christians, but it is a forced religion the entire western world for the last 1200 years.
Blacks for 400 years were enslaved in this country in the name of religion (christianity). Look what Cortez done to Mexico in the name of christianity. It is hard to sell this infomation to blacks because we have been conditoned to believe that christian is the only way. I am not say Islam, Judaism or Buddaism is either.
After the Crudsade for Christ in the 800 century A.D. the main punishment to any black that resisted christianity was death.
Have you noticed that God justifies everything our government does. Need money for more taxes, talk about kids or religion. Even the truth about thanksgiving and christmas is all a religious lie.
To answer your question, religion in this country is oppressive and brainwashing, but to all and white people are it greatest victims.

What is oppressive to blacks are the people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who spout their hate of white people. The so called religious right are the ones who preach self reliance and equality. I think you better talk to some more people.

No, there happens to be Blacks in the Religious Right and many devout Black Christians have been endorsed by the Religious Right including Keith Butler who ran for U.S. Senate in my State but lost the Primaries to Sheriff Michael Bouchard.

According to the majority of Blacks in America, everyone, including successful Blacks, are oppressive to Blacks.

I think any religious organization created for political reasons is oppressive to everyone (even members of said group).

All the right people I know want equal rights for everyone. Not preferential rights. We all believe people are people, so matter what your background or race.

Not quite sure, but don't think so. I mean really, which party acts more like it 'owns' the minority vote?

There is no right to religion.
But a freedom FROM religion.
The Constitution says nothing about a religious right.
It just says you don't have to be a certain religion.
