This is kind of sad and humerous at the same time. On ATODAY they have an article entitled:
Let us take a look at that list. Jews, Moslems and Buddhists Hindus, those are all world religions. Next are the other two groups urbanites and secular people. So the groups involved besides the named world religions are people living in cities and secular people. But the author wants to know why not deal with sexual orientation groups, namely gay people. Clearly, the emphasis is large groups; world religions people in cities and secular people. So if they included what the author wants to see (otherwise why would he mention it all) it becomes one of these elementary school kind of questions.
One of these things is not like the others: Jews, Moslems, urbanites, secular people, Buddhists, Hindus and gay people.
The sad part is that is a demonstration of the special interest groups that have taken over ATODAY.
Annual Council, Day 1: The LEAD Conference. In it Loren Seibold writes:
..."The nomenclature “mission centers” seems to indicate that these folks have study groups to reach specific audiences: Jews, Moslems, urbanites, secular people, Buddhists, Hindus. (Interestingly, no group specifically to reach out to gay people. I wonder why?)"
