Had to happen.

There has been an amount of discussion about PBS and the exclusion of 'new' religious material on Public TV. Ultimately, the decision left KBYU, a PBS affliate, with the opportunity to continue it's relationship with the government (well, effectively the government). However, staunch avocates of the "separation of Church and State" have begun 'warm disputes' about the necessity of KBYU in PBS programming. After reading this article, someone made a comment I thought was interesting:

Has anyone considered that taxpayers are both sectarian and non-sectarian (if there is such a thing as non-sectarian). To be truly diverse, all "sects" should be represented. That alone is representative of the American taxpayer. Religions and non-religions may all be considered "sects" by anyone on the outside of that belief system. Targeting Christians is as bad as targeting Muslims, though at present one target is more popular than the other in being rejected. Atheism is as much a sect as theism, make no mistake. It is possible for all of us to live our public media lives in ways that are accepting of each other, and stop bowing to the noises of the bigots. They are the real problems, not the "sects."

What do you think?
