Which could be said of most groups involved in American politics. Why single out Christianity?

Nowhere does it say he refused to talk to his mother. For all we know, after he made his point, he went and talked with her. In any event, he was using this situation as a "teaching moment" to show that we are ALL brothers and sisters, that we are ALL family under God. Some go so far as to say that Jesus, here, is saying that our spiritual family is MORE important than our earthly family. I don't know if I'd go that far, myself, but in any event Jesus was not being rude or disrespectful to his mother.
