5. Religion itself is not the problem

But rather the evil purposes for which it is all too often used. I'm an ecumenical Catholic known to visit other congregations so I've seen a lot, and too much of it ain't pretty. Any hint of politics from the pulpit should immediately erase any tax breaks. At one adult Sunday School class I wondered aloud whether I was at church or a CPAC meeting. That got them all stirred up once I explained what CPAC is. And it used to be common for some of these people to pray for President Obama to be killed and his wife made a widow, his children orphans. That's no brand of Christianity or any other decent religion I ever heard about.

In other words, I heartily support a full frontal attack by the IRS on these wolves in sheep's clothing.
