If people wish to influence society then standing for election is a good way.

However, if it means dumbing down, insulting the intelligence of normal people with simpleton superstition and trying to enforce controlling of people by offering a rancid comfort blanket to the vulnerable, then forgive me if I ignore them.

You see, running for political office means governing for everyone. As religions are by their own constitution misogynist, homophobic and bigoted, I fail to see what they have to offer anyone except middle aged men who don't give a flying fuck for others.

Anyway, the Church of England is said to be the Conservative party at prayer, so god botherers should be happy now.
