Sadly, I do think about religion often, since it comes up almost daily in one form or the other. So I am often pissed.

I am more pissed that every candidate has to be religious, and profess their love for god (the Christian one, to be exact). But that is where we are right now. We have to keep fighting the hold that religion and the followers have on our society.
