Thankfully, these complete Yahoos have lost political clout in the Republican party over the years and maybe with WTC people can see the real danger in such extreme beliefs. Hope so. Fortunately, the Roman Catholic Church seems to have changed its behaviour since Galileo's time. Here in the US separation of Church & State has helped keep this so. Meanwhile, we have 2 groups of religiously motivated people fighting to te death over desert land in "Palestine". All the major religions have some serious thinking to do about the unchecked consequences of their beliefs and their relative silence and acceptance of their extremist members. Case in point - Islam.
