Sorry to get you upset. It wasn't meant as a personal attack, just one of my pet peeves.

Another problem I didn't bring up, because it didn't pertain to the thread, but is a political problem. Religion in many parts of the country is very tightly tied to the running platform of those seeking office. As is the case in the southern (Red) states. This interwoven way of thinking, I believe, presents hurdles for real directional change.
I agree with you here, too. I live in the South and it looks to me like there are three major industries: churches, banks and fast food. Seems like every time someone builds one, someone else builds another. Hard to tell which is leading but I think the churches are barely edging out the banks. But when such a large part of your population professes to be Christian, you'd damned well better be a good Christian yourself if you want to get elected.
