Department Of No Surprise

I saw in the news today that, among adult Ohioans in a recent survey, those who are not a member of any religion are more than twice as likely to cite "poverty and inequality" as their top political/social concern than are those who are members of an organized religion -- 18.6% of the non-religious vs. 9.2% of the church-goers.

The survey found the least likely to give a shit are evangelical Christians, with just 5.5% caring about the poor.  I know my fair share of those people, and I'm not surprised in the least.

As the great George Carlin once said, "I think everyone should treat one another in a Christian manner.  I will not, however, be responsible for the consequences."
