Short answer: Yes. It’s both. Now, if you’d consider a little more detail…
Conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly really stepped in the rhetorical poop pile recently when, in an effort to defend the claim that there is a war in our culture on Christmas, took some bait from his show’s guest David Silverman (President of American Atheists) and claimed on the air that Christianity was a philosophy and not a religion...
...Yes, O’Reilly ended up looking a little ridiculous (especially after recanting a couple of days later and buckling on air under questioning from…a priest.) But actually I think it’s an interesting discussion, barring the theatrics and opportunistic jockeying that both Christians and atheists have been doing on the issue.
