Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 12, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Christianity is much less of a wedge in American politics than it was in 2003. The coalitions firmed up, and the constant blare of Christian and atheist squabbles peeled off most everyone open to being affected. Religious status is taken as a prerequisite for other issues: of course XYZ opposes trans, he's a fundamentalist!

But religion in general flies under the radar, here. Even Islam, the natural enemy of the American right, mostly shows up in straw arguments about how much the wokes must love it. It's just not the current CW battlefield.
