Keep in mind, Religion in itself is not good or bad. It's how people practice it.
Most of us don't know that we, the US are sending 100 military personnel to Uganda to help with the fight against the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army).

Note to Rush. Just because someone says they are 'Christian' ( see Westboro Baptist Church), does NOT mean they embrace what most would take as traditional 'Christian' values.
Rush Limbaugh -
'Now, up until today, most Americans have never heard of the combat Lord’s Resistance Army. And here we are at war with them......... Lord’s Resistance Army are Christians. It means God. I was only kidding. Lord’s Resistance Army are Christians. They are fighting the Muslims in Sudan. And Obama has sent troops, United States troops to remove them from the battlefield, which means kill them'.
'Lord’s Resistance Army objectives.......The objectives of the Lord’s Resistance Army, what they’re trying to accomplish with their military action in these countries is the following: “To remove dictatorship and stop the oppression of our people; to fight for the immediate restoration of the competitive multiparty democracy in Uganda'.

'Courtesy of Human Rights Watch':
'LRA forces attacked at least 10 villages, capturing, killing, and abducting hundreds of civilians, including women and children. The vast majority of those killed were adult men, whom LRA combatants first tied up and then hacked to death with machetes or crushed their skulls with axes and heavy wooden sticks. The dead include at least 13 women and 23 children, the youngest a 3-year-old girl who was burned to death. LRA combatants tied some of the victims to trees before crushing their skulls with axes'.

Especially in the extreme polorized politics of the day, far too many have 'target fixation'.
Rush Limbaugh - Someone is fighting 'Muslim's' and they say they are 'Christians'. They are good people.
No they aren't Rush. They, the LRA are a bunch of opportunistic savages, rapists and thieves who's 'leader' thinks he is a prophet. But you hate Obama SO much you can't see and didn't even look behind the 'Christian' label.
You only sell the garbage Rush. Sadly to millions of fools who believe every word you spout.
Rush's 'walk back' was pitiful :
'Is that right? The Lord's Resistance Army is being accused of really bad stuff? Child kidnapping, torture, murder, that kind of stuff? Well, we just found out about this today. We're gonna do, of course, our due diligence research on it. But nevertheless we got a hundred troops being sent over there to fight these guys -- and they claim to be Christians'.
