I'm not a religious person, but I respect everyone's religious perspective. In the Southeast USA this is a REAL BIG PROBLEM, with endless proselitizing by protestant fundamentalists.
    Periodically, it needs to be stated somehow that "This is not an appropriate setting to bring in personal politics, religions, private personal problems, etc; this isn't a religious or political meeting or therapy."
    My experience has been that, when they find that they are not
"reeling 'em in" (conversions), they will find a more promising setting.
