well Newt, intelligent musing are deadly to lies, so yes, you are right in that some will change. That being said there is still millions that absolutely love to have an excuse to do bad things so religion will thrive for a long time

Does he not sound very similar to Osama Bin Laden?

I am cool with anyone who believes in god in a spiritual way. Religion on the other hand can be all about a community celebrating a common belief ..... or ...... as a tool for those who want to rule the masses. If people are using their own minds and question authority, you bet people like good ole Newt are scared to death.

We are. Think about it. The new generations are leaving religion. They need more followers to keep the money and rhetoric flowing.

Looking at mass murder stats, it seems Christians are the most dangerous to Christians in the USA.

Are you sure its not: Newt Gingrich is more of a terror to Christianity than Atheism?
