If we didn&#x27;t discriminate against the type of conservative religious people who believe in using the power of institutions to advance their religious goals, women, homosexuals, and religious minorities would have a tougher time than they already do. Christianity in this article is a red herring, because I&#x27;m sure that conservative fundamentalist Muslims face the same discrimination, and so would conservative evangelical astrologers, if you could find any.<p>What religious people seem to be angry about is the lack of symmetry - that they are judged for discriminating against reasonable people. The lack of symmetry is due to the fact that the universities being discussed are intended to be institutions of reason. There are other universities for people who believe in every sort of invisible world, which do not hesitate to discriminate openly, and fight for their right to do so.
