yep, Fionn, I posted about that "Evolution Museum" awhile back. It is an awkward thing that such places can be take seriously by enough people to keep it solvent, but the USA is a big place, and we don't require folks to prove they are competent before opening a display...*wry smile*

It is really interesting that you have "The Church of England", yet have relatively fewer adherents, while we have no 'state religion', yet have a lot of folks professing belief.

It is really, really hard to run a political campaign here without religion being double checked by your opponents!

(As I understand it, when Dwight Eisenhower was running, he had to go find a church, as he had NOT been a member. He was advised to remedy that, so he picked a low-key place and put in semi-regular appearances)
