Clearly the Westboro Baptist Church does not represent all of Christendom. However, it seems disingenuous to say it is not a religious group, specifically one falling under the broad heading of Christianity. I'm not sure I understand your position in this discussion. Can you clarify?

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
