By the Numbers

A candidate’s religious beliefs are not only a topic of conversation in this upcoming presidential election, they are akin to Joseph’s coat of many colors, donned as a mantle of the right to be annointed.  Except in this modern age, the coat is reversible and acts as a cloaking device, too.

Razib, at Gene Expression, links to a piece by Paul Kurtz titled “Bravo! Secularism Growing in the U.S." which looks at some of the statistical data which may shed light on the benefit, or non-benefit, of political candidates donning a coat of religious piety, as it pertains to number of religiously inclined folks in the U.S.

  1. I’m always amused when secularists proclaim that they have no accent. And, are proud over it.
