It was a good read, I understand your problems. I am wondering what Proving God by Consensus has to do with the post. The religious right voted in George Bush only because the majority of the population does not vote. I guess that would make them a bit more responsible, at least in getting out to vote.
It is important to understand a few things. The minority of the religious are the ones making most of the problems in any country. The majority are quietly trying to practice what they preach, and/or are searching for something they do not have. Jesus did not teach a theology or religious doctrine he taught a way of living. Religion does not equal God. I am not an atheist, an agnostic, nor do I associate with a religious body yet I agree with your trepidation with the christian right in the U.S. I also do not want the atheistic left to be in charge of the nation, as most of them think that I am delusional wich leads to other unsavory questions and outcomes.
