I agree with Caius that it's wrong to stereotype *all* evangelical
Christians as censorious & bigoted, but I agree with Susan's point that
it is very likely (IMO) that no other group has advocated banning HP.
Some of the people who want to ban HP might not describe themselves as
"evangelicals," but I think it's probably likely that noone has
suggested banning the HP books on any grounds *other than* religion.
