Mike,
I honestly don't know the figures. There are several professional groups I
support which lobby for the proper teaching of Science in schools, here.
I haven't lived in States that are vehemently Bible-Thumping, but in my youth I
have known some people who were, but not for long (did I

What is this dumb buzz phrase do to his own people? Is it somehow better to
kill people you don't own than ones you do? It really annoys me to hear this

I'd say a leader of the people should be a leader for the peoples' good, and
not be an assassin of them. If there's anything dumb about the phrase, perhaps
it's solely in the hearing of it, not in the proper interpretation of the
hearing of it.

A-theist is just the proper term to apply to someone who does not believe in a
god, or even the possibility of a god.
I personally wear the term as a neutral-grey feature of my personality.
And yet I understand sympathetically where brethren and sistren come from when

I'm on board. I see your point: Why be called something for which there's no
indication anyway. It's superfluous and back-handed.
