The con job I am affected by when I sit in the restaurant is a barrage of inane and obnoxious advertising pouring at me over a radio station...NOT some religious messages.

If you think that religion is the "biggest, most successful con job ever perpetrated on humans", you're mistaken. Aggressive consumer-directed marketing of commercial products is the biggest, most successful con job every pepetrated on humans...and it's EVERYWHERE in this society. It is what is wasting the World's resources, funding the World's wars, and ruining our future on this planet.

Religion is a mere sideshow in comparison.

How you gonna remove your chains, Alaska Mike, if you don't even notice they're there?
