Divine Intervention

Great interview with Susan Jacoby, author of Freethinkers: A History of American Secularism. She has written, and I fervently agree, that liberals should "forget about the fundamentalists. Appeal to the 60 or 70 percent of the American people who aren't fundamentalists – who may have lots of religious beliefs, but who also believe in secular government. Don't waste time trying to persuade people who believe that the earth was created in seven days. You're not going to persuade those people of anything." http://www.alternet.org/story/21288/
