Some thought-provoking news items on religion:

Societies worse off 'when they have God on their side'

Gakked from nostalgia_lj: Do Unnatural Acts Cause Natural Disasters?

In brief: higher rates of religious belief coincide with higher rates of social ills such as murder and STDS; no correlation between numbers of gay citizens and natural disasters.

I sometimes worry what would happen if the Pagans were put in charge. Would we, too, turn to dogma, greed, and power-grabbing? Or would we simply be unable to form a stable government?

I visited the Protean Web site after sheramil's mention, and my first thought was, "How do I join these guys???"
