The original post by LJ says:
The US is the leader of the free world in many ways (or at least it should be, as the most powerful), but it frightens me to think that so many of it's citizens are enshrouded in superstition.
In the context of the rest of the post, it's obvious we aren't talking about lucky rabbit's feet, here.
An early response by Doug said:
Huge numbers of americans believe in 'God' - whatever that is supposed to be. I find that similarly scarey.
Your direct response to this post was (including the heading for complete context):
It is ok to believe what you want. To rule other's lives according to your beliefs is a quick return to the dark ages.
One could be excused for thinking, in the context of the post you were replying to, that you were still talking about many Americans' belief in God, and expressing a concern about loss of human rights as a result.
If not, and you were in fact talking about belief in flying saucers or homeopathic medicine, sorry.
