This is not a snipe(?). Am I not supporting his argument? I can't ever
remember agreeing not to "participate in the same threads" as Larry.
Further, I am pretty sure he has posted in the same threads as me – he is
welcome to.

In the UK there is far less political/religious overlap. Sure religious
types express political views. However, political types very rarely directly
canvas any religion. I can't think of any major item of recent UK foreign or
domestic policy which has a religious basis. Can you say the same of the USA?
