I was thinking about the YouTube video with Dawkins and Krauss which I watched the other day.
Krauss was saying that due to the strong privacy laws in the US, there's no issues with eg, doctors, etc believing in what they like (religious wise), as it is their own personal business and must be respected.
On the opposite end on the scale, and I've never bothered with it because I thought it was a bit of a novelty and a farce to start with, but as a young Greek Orthodox Xtian, I spent a bit of time as an Altar boy.
After the people had left on a Saturday early arvo, I would have to pickup used candles, clean up etc, I would go round the back and there is the priest with his 3 "disciples" (actually the 3 guys were his background singers), and you guessed it, they were playing cards! To me at that age, I didn't batter an eyelid as a lot of old Greeks like to do this in their pastime.
Just makes me wonder whether anyone on earth actually takes the bible literally or are just Christians because it pays better.

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
Know God, Know fear.
