Dunno - as long as people don't try and force me to join in - I can't see it any of my business what people believe in.
But it does, Chas, if those in power control our lives by answering to a belief system out of contact with reality, i.e. Ron Reagan is supposed to have said 'I would have no hesitation in pressing the nuclear button as God will protect America'. Now it may be an urban legend or only partly quoted (I can`t find a source), but anyone who controls power on that level surely should be vetted for their beliefs long before they are granted that power.
