There are posts here every day that are frankly slanted by atheism, paganism, and every philosophy under the sun (including hodgepodges of personal belief systems cobbled together from one or more cults that have actually harmed people).

"Slanted" implies a disproportionate amount of influence, in a pejorative manner, being utilized in ongoing discussions. I don't think that's the case. You're simply finding yourself in a mix of people who (like myself) were compelled by our parents or our society to keep a lid on it for years while the christians ran things and presumed that everyone else agreed with them. (Rather like all of the years in which non-smokers had to suffer the pollution of smokers lighting up anywhere they pleased, disgregarding protests, or worse, suppressing all protest.) It is past time for you to realize that this is a forum in which mainstream American christianity doesn't have a stranglehold and doesn't call the shots. As cults go, christianity is one that has done a great deal of harm to a huge number of people over the last 20 centuries, so I wouldn't choose that as a position defend (if I were in your shoes, at any rate).

What Jim illustrated above might be called in the vernacular the "fish-can't-see-the-water-it-swims-in" syndrome. It's what Derrida referred to as "the center." If you're in that place where you can assume that everything you know regarding your culture and religion is identical to everyone else's experiences, then you're part of the Hegemony that others object to. And because you're there, you can't see that you're there. One needs to step away from that position ("walk a mile in other's shoes. . .") to be able to see the water for what it is. You're experiencing what postmodern scholars consider the fringes (the colonized) "writing back to the Center."
