Don't get me wrong, I believe in religion as a positive influence on our personal lives. But when ANY religion, whether Catholic, Mormon, Islam, or Communist takes over the governance of a people, In my opinion things go to hell rather than to heaven.

Whether your sister in Spain would be interested in my analysis is moot, the Spanish have become considerably more cynical and secular in the last half-century. The colonies they formed were poisoned by the legacy left them by Spain of the 1500s through 1700s, today is a different world.
