There are still a few pure believers out there and its probably not fair to paint with so broad a brush. But as an atheist(recovering catholic) I can't help it because they always paint me with such a broad brush.

When religious leaders call us dems evil for supporting gay-rights or being against bloody wars for profit, I don't hear any other religious groups jumping to our defense. When religious leaders support a party that couldn't give a damn about the hungry and down-trodden, something is wrong with the religion. I hope the whole rotting mess comes tumbling down someday and people can go back to doing good things because its the right thing to do, not because they they want a cushy spot in the next world.

The one prayer I do make every day is that religious people will see they are being used by some very evil people and that fact is alienating the people they are supposedly trying to save. (Not idiots like Pat Robertson, hes an asshat who will get the express train to hell if there is one. I mean the truly righteous religious people who are still left.)
