It doesn't matter to many of us if criticizing religion isn't politically popular--it is a necessity in this Dark Age of lies, propaganda, and misinformation.

And BTW, if you want to know how the US feels about religion, I suggest the Pew Trust's information on it, which shows there is a huge disconnect between the polling numbers where people claim to be religious, and actual church attendance.

Church goers are a distinct minority of the US population. When I've time, I'll go look up the numbers again. I've posted them before. Most of this "Americans are deeply religious" crap is media hype, not reality.
