1. True
2. False, there are PLENTY of people of different religious affiliations that are involved in politics and a growing number of atheists and agnostics
3. I wonder if it would be as funny if you were talking about winding up someone of a different faith
4. Like there are not Christians in those places and also why would a "War on Christmas" have ANYTHING to do with Iraq or Syria?
1. We agree

2. You cannot be President of the USA without being a 'active' Christian; my Country (the UK) also has an 'active' Christian leader. who recently destroyed in an election his two atheist rivals. There is no place for an atheist in politics in the UK.

3. Yes I wind up all members of all faiths. But at the same time I try to envision a line that I try not to cross, but I admit I probably do every now and again. It is one thing to say 'Happy Holidays!' to my Christian friend who gets really annoyed by such a comment, but it is quite another to say burn their bible.

4. Sorry; but I still see red on the subject despite it being a decade since my then Prime Minister Tony Blair admitted to praying with your then President Bush (Junior), whilst deciding what to do about Iraq in 2002/03. Such comments really make me understand why so many Muslims in Iraq and sadly now Syria think the bombings in their Countries are a 'Modern Crusade'.
