And how about Unitarians and Quakers?

You may have me on Unitarians.

Or American Indians, or Haitian voudon? (I lived in Haiti for a number of years and have also lived out West.)

You may have me on Haitian voudon. I really have no use for it nor really consider it a religion.

You may think Eastern religions are more important, more virtuous, or more exotic . . . but that doesn't necessarily make it true.

You are putting words in my mouth.

Now if you get to define what is a religion, that's putting more variables into the mix.

Voudon is a pretty darned dangerous and evil religion. It draws a good part of its pantheon from the Catholic saints. But it is a religion nonetheless, and is also practiced in Spanish-speaking areas of the Caribbean as "Santeria."

Our local district court had to detail a person to clean up all the black roosters found decapitated on the courthouse steps on Monday morning.
