... we live in a country in which a person cannot get elected president if he openly doubts the existence of heaven and hell... In our next presidential election, an actor who reads his Bible would almost certainly defeat a rocket scientist who does not. Could there be any clearer indication that we are allowing unreason and otherworldliness to govern our affairs?
