I stopped attending my church after 9/11 as well, for a couple o' reasons. However my wife is still Catholic and attends Mass most every Sunday. I was perusing the bulletin last Sunday, and there was a thing about Hiroshima, and how Paul VI (I think) said that was the worst mass destruction event of all time, and praying to end all nuclear weapons, and how the US has the most, and Hiroshima/Nagasaki killed a bunch of people, yadda yadda. It has so many half-truths and inaccuracies, it made me sick. It just reinforced my decision to stop attending Mass there.

It seems as tho it is inconvenient for some to remember the history of the role that the church played in our Independence way back when. The churches,overall, were a good deal more patriotic and loyal to freedom then they are now.

OTOH,there are some very Conservative and patriotic churches-my issue with them is that they tend to be a bit more evangelical for me personally, since I was raised as a Methodist.

But I know lots of great Americans who attend these churches,and they are HUGE-so there is hope.
