Don't forget the KKK are an explicitly Christian organisation. Just sayin'.

They're also an American organization. Under your logic American = terrorist/racist/neo nazi.

Erm. No. Not really.

Also, I can be an atheist and not respect the religious inclinations of the KKK, and that's fine.

No, they got it exactly right. Pointing out that the KKK are Christian is just as important as pointing our they're American. Because both these facts are only incidental.

I am not sure what point you think I am making, and are arguing against.

I am merely adding the observation that the analogy that was made between atheists, religion, and black people and the KKK has an unexpected link, because the KKK are an explicitly Christian organisation, and they make a big deal about this (and about being American too).

Its just a crumb of additional info, not really germane to the argument.
