Oh, good. First politics, now religion. *Somebody's* gonna get pissed off.
But hey, it's God's will. Actually, I think religions (like Scientology, for example -- one of my personal favorites) are great! When you discover what particular flavor of religion someone subscribes to, you suddenly know a lot more about that person than you did before, and that knowledge can be quite useful. Of course, a second tier of intel is required for full understanding. Such as, is the person of interest a "true believer" or has he joined the religious group for reasons of personal advancement? I met a guy at a conference earlier this year who wore Mormon Underwear to a job interview in Salt Lake City. He got the job. He stopped wearing the underwear. Claimed religious bias when they tried to fire him. Walked a way with a healthy settlement. Clever.
