Quote:But it wouldn't be sudden.
That was not the way I interpreted the OP but, again, we have seen Europe distance itself slowly from the church with no great harm. I agree with R/S - there are plenty of stupid people in the US who simply cannot face a reality that does not depend on their sky-daddy fucking their enemies over for them and telling them who to hate in the meantime. This particular group of clowns is a threat but the good news is that they are shattered by doctrinal differences among themselves. Many are nominal catholics which is anathema to the protestant assholes who don't even consider them xtians.
And then there are the mormons. Talk about fucked up!
