"But this question is certainly worth scientific inquiry (if anyone knows of a research report on such an inquiry, I'd be happy to know about it): what, in this man's God's country, makes a secularist? Why, in the end, are some people apparently immune to God-talk when so many of their neighbor's swallow it whole?"
More importantly (to me), why is it black and white: immune or swallow-whole idiot? Can you not conceive of shades inbetween?
