Essay: "The Devout Have Faith in the Tea Party, while Atheists and Agnostics Do Not"

Essay: "The Devout Have Faith in the Tea Party, Atheists and Agnostics Do Not"

According to statistics in an article in the Saturday April 30th to May 1st weekend edition of the Patriot Ledger, so-called 'born again' and devout white Christians are most apt to buy into the extremist Tea party malarkey, while atheists and agnostics are least likely to agree with the position of low taxes for the wealthy along with minimal services for the poor, needy and vulnerable. Christians are supposed to be a charitable lot, but when it comes to political views they are quite hypocritical. At least those who are in the extreme Christian right and the Tea Party. It is a shame that due to a horrible economy and other disasters, the Tea Party and those on the right who largely caused or enabled this huge financial mess to happen have an opportunity to make things much worse; especially for those who are poor. I'm sure those at the top will do just fine and get even richer at the rest of our expense.
