You're right. I'm just saying why is this in the news. Why is this a matter of such great importance. You have entire organizations nit picking at things like a 30 year old painting on a wall. Oh dear how offensive, the Constitution is at risk now.
Although I'm not religious I'm familiar with those that assume religious peope are unthinking zombies. But it's not true.
"Myth: Christian conservatives are poor, uneducated, and easy to command:
This allegation was first made by Washington Post journalist Michael Weisskopf in a front page story on February 1st, 1993. In reality, average annual income for Christian conservatives is well above the national average. Furthermore, the average net worth of conservative Christian families rockets ahead of the national average especially when corrected for age and income. This shouldn?t surprise anyone because the values of thrift and industry that build net worth are among the values encouraged by Biblical faith. Finally, the bountiful generosity in the form of charitable donations made by America?s religious conservatives in any year exceeds the gross domestic product of many nation members of the United Nations.
Most of the nation?s hundreds of Christian colleges, with their rigorous academic standards, routinely outperform state universities. Christian home schoolers win the national spelling bees year after year. In a 2003 article entitled God on the Quad, the Boston Globe described how well Christian Evangelical students are doing on New England?s liberal elite university campuses. "
