My sentiment exactly Linda! I lost my religion in a foxhole in Vietnam, when I realized that praying for my brother Marines was futile. They died anyway. Religious superstition is the single biggest cause of war and other violence in the world and always has been. As long as people are afraid to think logically and refuse to boot religious superstition out of their lives and their politics, things will never change. Backward people like George W. Bush should keep to themselves instead of leveraging citizen fear into mass murder. Yes, you have the right to be religiously superstitious but you don't have the right to affect my life with it. Don't tread on me any longer!
