3. Barry Goldwater said it best, but Bertrand Russell said it deeper

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." ~Barry Goldwater

"One of the most interesting and harmful delusions to which men and nations can be subjected is that of imagining themselves special instruments of the Divine Will." ~ Bertrand Russell

4. I think my mother was addicted to it....

now that you mention it.

She could hardly speak a sentence without some interjection of fundamentalist religion. It's a big part of why I wanted to move to one coast or the other, as far from the Midwest as I could get. (Unfortunately, I never had the money to make a move like that...another story....)

6. Pointless

as the main religion of the U.S. is capitalism, and both parties working in its name.
