I'm sure there were some good Maoists too, doesn't mean the Chairman has the right ideas. People can find good in anything.

A spliting of one religion into two is hardly a "resurgence in religious belief".

God is just a convenient way to say "nature given" or man is born with such rights. By the way not all the founding fathers were as gung-ho about religion as you.

Protestantism is "more religious" than Catholicism? You just get goofier and goofier.

Nah, I haven't read Dawkins.
Why are you such an angry person? Why resort to personal attacks? What you Jesus think of your bitchy attitude?

As opposed to the divine wisdom being taught pre-80's, like homosexuality being a mental illness, the four food groups (to they still teach that crap) and other such garbage. I wouldn't know much about high school "indoctrination" though, I dropped out of public highschool when I was fourteen.
