I'm old. I studied Marine Biology in college. I Spent a few years at Microsoft and now am trying to "reinvent" myself as a writer. They get away with it by using a phrase borrowed from the cold war's greatest enemy, Karl Marx, "religion is the opiate of the masses". In the old days that was used against the Soviet Union and communism. Today the right wing neocon's here welcome this idea. It serves their interests to use religion and patriotism as an "opiate" to keep us in check.
