Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction. - Blaise Pascal

And, what fills the void in religion's absence? Communism and Nazism to name a few.

I believe God has indeed shed His grace on America to be the light to the world.

- reason, and if you require it- faith.

Religion on the other hand is divisive at best and destructive at worst. How many wars and how much persecution has religion fathered? Look around the world today... Jews v Muslims v Christians, protestants vs catholics, Sunnis vs Shiites.

I personally worry far less about a heathen Korean lunatic or even a godless China than about religious fanatics of any religious persuasion.
