This sort of thinking leads to some very dangerous conclusions...

The majority of people in this country are caucasian.  Do you believe that
the government of this country must cater to the needs of white people?

Some people forget that the Bill of Rights was designed to protect the
rights of minorities, not enforce the belief of the majority.  The
United States is a republic rather than a true democracy and should stay
that way.
