89. Speaking as an atheist...
I applaud this effort. Whatever one's religious views (or lack of them) the Bible does not say that Jesus was a Republican, and the attempts of the Christian Right to hijack religion to keep the right-wingers in power are disgusting.

Although some people have attempted to use religion in this way in the UK, they are far fewer here. Indeed, the Archbishop of Canterbury was strongly against the war (as was the late Pope).
