8. Are you just interested in hosts? Nonbelievers?

And what does this have to do with atheists knowing as much about religious tradtions as believers.

FWIW, I think religion has become increasingly important as part of the overall US political dialogue. I have a great deal of interest in separation issues and how religious intersects with secular matters.

I also think that the religious right were organized in order to achieve political gains in ways that liberal/progressive people of faith have not done in a long time, and I have an interest in see the left reclaim that ground they have lost. I think we can best do that by building coaltions, including coalitions between believers and non-believers.

To those who only wish to continue the division or feel that this is a team sport in which one side must win and the other lose, I say, "Get out of my way". I have no time for that.
