Native Americans like to be given the credit that they deserve, for having been in the Western Hemisphere earlier than any other ethnic group; they also do not appreciate the term Indian which is based upon the mistaken belief of Columbus that he had traveled to India, rather than to a hemisphere previous unknown to Spain.

Are religious people more apt to be politically correct?

Note that being "politically correct" has nothing to do with politics; it should be properly referred to as 'social acceptability/socially acceptable' (and even that isn't the best description). It is basically acting in a fashion that will cause the least possible offense to anybody that may hear or see that act. For this reason, a person of religious affiliation is just as likely to be "politically correct" as anyone else.
