The media says it's not racial. Because both black and white churches have burnt down. I'm like you: it's probably some brain dead atheist just getting his kicks. I pray they find him/them real soon. Lots of nuts running around today.
"it's probably some brain dead atheist just getting his kicks."
Why atheist? Given the fixation with Baptist churches in particular I would think it more likely that the perp is/was a baptist than any other denomination or athetist. (ex-baptist turned athetist is still baptist in my book for motive purposes).
