Religions, America and the World

"In a society that believes in nothing, people who believe in anything can appear to have great power. But this says more about how isolated and atomized we have become rather than reflect their true power."

- paraphrased from The Power of Nightmares

It was a brilliant documentary. I learned a lot from it. I never knew, for example, that Republicans were originally against Religion and the State coming together. They showed Republican rallies with speakers defending the rights of women to have abortions! But, once they made alliances with the religious right everything changed.
