Does Size Matter?
The Revealer points me to an article from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about the role of Secular Humanists in todays religiously skewed America. One quote in particular stands out.
“According to a religious identification survey by the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, more than 14% of Americans – a much larger minority than any non-Christian group – describe their outlook as “entirely or predominantly secular.” There are more secular humanists than there are observant Jews or Muslims – but one would never know it from the makeup of supposedly ecumenical civic rituals that are ecumenical only for those who believe, to paraphrase Bush, that God is at the helm of our country.”
But numbers don’t mean a thing if you aren’t a solid voting block that can be wooed with wedge issues like Gay Marriage and Abortion. Heck, there are around a million modern pagans and have yet to see any politician try and woo that vital “pagan block”.
