Proving God by Consensus: My Problem with the Religious Right

Indeed. Many people go to church only for weddings and funerals, never read the bible, couldn't list the ten commandments, but at census time will scratch their head and write whatever religion they kind-of follow. The serious members of that religion will quite happily count these people among their followers when it comes to politicking.

Well, unions and other social and political movements do the same. We just have to remember that when we look at numbers like these.
