I'd offer that if you took two conservatives and two liberals (however defined) you'd average sixteen different outlooks of everything.
As a crude example, ever noticed the bitchy fighting for the conservative and for the liberal Presidential candidates? They can't agree on who, and often can't agree on when to meet!
Whatever, back to the front, deity is a prerequisite for religion, IMHO, but the gent, the FIRST gent, with this article has apparently gone.
