Religion and Partisanship

I am not a particularly religious person -- I like to describe myself as a 'retired Catholic' -- but I think the topic of the source of religion is interesting and useful to pursue, particularly when it becomes a part of the political discussion. To that end, I'd like to point out Garry Willis's article, Christ Among the Partisans, from the New York Times opinion section. He makes a number of good and thought-provoking points.
