This is a great thread so far!!! I'd agree with most everything Sunflower Momma said, but I have been attending a liberal Christian church for the past year. (almost a year)
I live in Wyoming....where everyone is Christian and if you are not, then you don't say that you are not.
I think things that the current President has done has put more people on the defensive about Christianity. Even some Christians!!! I honestly do think his administration is the only one I've seen in my lifetime that openly appears to push his own personal religion and this scares me so much. But that is totally just my own impression from where I'm standing personally/politically/spiritually.
I do remember when I was LDS that I often felt "attacked" by those around me because of my beliefs. And regardless of how widespread it is, when you feel that way it hurts just the same. Whether it is one person, or a small group, or a large group.
As far as what to do? I'd look to the Bible and see how Jesus responded for your example of how to handle it.
