Liberal double standard

Found this dated Salon article by Camille Paglia on the Elephant-dung Madonna incident from years back, from Relapsed Catholic:

And I'm just as sick of "Catholic-bashing" as Giuliani himself. I may be an atheist, but I was raised in Italian Catholicism, and it remains my native culture. I resent the double standard that protects Jewish and African-American symbols and icons but allows Catholicism to be routinely trashed by supercilious liberals and ranting gay activists.

Evidence that God has not totally abandoned the atheists despite their deepest wishes.
