That's great, Consuela. I'm so glad you found someone who can help!
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Apparently, the proportion of the pop who claim atheist is growing.
Paul Ryan is a conservative Catholic (supposedly) but was an apostle of Ayn Rand. I have heard him speak quite fervently about Rand and not about Jesus. I wonder, in my heart of hearts, if he really believes in God.

I saw one interview where he said that he believes in Ayn Rand's economic policies, but not her "philosophy," by which I assume he meant atheism. I'm not certain whether he counts her "charity is evil" position as economics or philosophy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Young people especially are abandoning organized religion in droves. This seems to be entirely due to homophobia in many churches today.

Her writing (in total) runs pretty counter to the words of Jesus Christ (as I understand them. I have not been to church in awhile). I don't see how you can reconcile the two perspectives at all.

Great news, Suela!
Some Congressional districts are so small, it's not surprising there are minorities in the House who could never win in a general election.
I suspect we will have a female President, a Latino President, and a Jewish President long before we elect a Muslim or atheist. Or a gay President. Or a single childless President. There are a lot of boxes to tick off.

Didn't we have a single, child man elected president (Grover Cleveland?)- I think he got married while in the white house.

James Buchanan was single and childless, I'm pretty sure.
