Quote:Your sidestepping the issue: most politicians in America, rather they believe in a religion or not, understand that the majority of Americans are religious minded; 86% in 1990!
That reminds me of a interview I once saw on TV, right before Bush was elected (for the second time, iirc). There were two Texan range owners, one Republican, the other a Democrat. The Republican, a Mexican-looking middle aged guy, said he'd vote for Bush because he would keep the meat prices high. The Democrat, a white older guy, said he'd also vote for Bush because he believed the other candidate wasn't religious enough.
This is no joke, and I didn't make it up.
