    "80 Million (or 40 million), where are they?

    80 Million Non-Belivers going to church? Well, yeah. Some of them are members or friends of a Unitarian-Univeralist Church, where all are welcome, believers, non-believers, Buddhist, Jewish, Sufi, Athiest and Agnostic. We gather for community, to support one another and to work out side of our church in our city and country to help our fellow human beings and the earth on which we live."

    Stole my thunder, dammit! UU UNITE!!

    I find it hard to believe, though, that John Marks sez there are 40 million non-believers going to church...UUs might account for 1 million (okay, I'll spot us 2 million), but where the hell are the other 38 million?

    And to Kappakkaa (sic)...don't be so hard on the Beave...Salon is a left-wing political commentary-esque website. The last religious story I remember reading here was about that wack-o New Age guy who died a year or so back, and it was just an expose (although a good one, IMO)...Salon is no more capable of having a "spiritual" moment that the Wall Street Journal. It's a news website, not a David Thoreau book reading club. Salon tends to cater to a non-religious/secular type of reader, so you can't really blame them for pandering to said audience.
