Without a shred of evidence, I always knew that W's fervent Chrisian persona was fraudulent. When Republicans basked in his apparent piety and even when liberals bemoaned his religiosity, I NEVER bought into W as a serious Christian. I guess I don't see him as a "serious" anything--he's just not a thoughtful, discerning, reflective person. The idea of him praying has always struck me as a facade--kind of like one of my brothers goofing around in church when we were little and then, when hit with a stern glance from my mother, transitioning immediately into what he thought "pious" should look like. As far as I'm concerned, Bush's frat-boy smirk and darting eyes gave him away a long time ago.
