Idunno, is Britain a more secular society? Not officially of course, the
state and the church are the same vs. separation of church and state, but in
practice? Many do want that "God Bless America", but in Britain some like
to think that God didn't just bless the place, he walked upon their very
shores (see Piltdown Man for my opinion on British ethnocentricism <g>).
No, I don't have the answer, just curious about other's views on this.

I can't agree with the end product of his decision making, so whether or not
he prays in a sincere fashion seems immaterial, but I'm sure others, as do
you, feel differently.
