I believe religion played a huge part in the last election and continues through all levels of politics. Just look at the recent appointments to the Supreme Court. These people were obviously put in place to overturn Roe vs Wade and to lay a conservative foundation for many years to come. If this faction of people was shrinking, how do you account for all of this? There are televangelists building 50,000 seat arenas for the sole purpose of herding followers in and shaking them down for their money. Only professional sports teams had this kind of clout in the past. Do you know how much money it takes to build an arena? If these groups were not growing in numbers how would this be possible?

I personally don't care what religion you ascribe to but I do object to the ridiculous notion of religious whackos proposing to replace my child's science class with religious voodoo, no matter what type of religion it is. I myself was a teacher years ago and I can tell you that fellow teachers in the scientific community are appalled and insulted over the seemingly never-ending assault which threatens their livelihood and their integrity. If you want your own personal religion taught to your child then send them to religious schools.

You completely missed my point concerning religion. I was simply pointing out how religion, of any type, can be sometimes used in a counter-productive manner. To simply enter any religion with blind faith is asking for trouble. I never implied that Christianity was the root of evil. I only pointed to a few circumstances where it was used in a harmful way whether intentional or not.
