I agree. I won't. However, you also ask why we ("who don't have interest in religion") don't just unsubscribe. My dear sir or madam. If we weren't interested in religion, we wouldn't be here. I have two major reasons to be interested in religion. The first is that, like it or not (and quite often I most emphatically do NOT like it) religion has had a major effect on history and continues to be part of the influences shaping our society. The second is that I am interested in other people's religious beliefs. Besides, if I wasn't interested in religion, I'd be an agnostic. Ken
