There is always anger when there is a perception that one group is being asked to be treated as a special class, exclusive in nature. You shouldn't be surprised there is some anger. Religion, politics, and sex are historically volatile subject areas. By asking to be treated as a special class, you are setting yourself up as being better than others who don't happen to share your interest or beliefs. If you get beyond your own wants and needs, you might see how this could be viewed by other people who have equal rights to the same special treatment that you are requesting for yourself. To be fair, as hauksdottir pointed out, every one with a special religious bent should have their own forum and not just the Christians. In fact, I'd vote for the lions having one too.
