Anderson Cooper is a great guy. Christians need to learn their bible, if they really did a lot more of them would reject it.

'Twilight' Stands in For Religion for Some Teens →
“Twilight” and other supernatural tales may give some non-religious teens a place to grapple with the big questions of life, according to a Danish researcher.
In Denmark, where religion is not a large part of daily life, teens seem to use media — often, American media — to explore questions of good and evil, life after death and destiny, Line Nybro Petersen of the University of Copenhagen’s film and media studies department has found. The communal experiences of hardcore fans of the series can even echo religious communities. (Click the link to read more.)

Very much along the lines of Penn Jillette’s “God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales”

..This fighting not just about religion, but between the religious, this desire to have the freedom not just of religion but from religion is enshrined in the founding documents of this country in a way that should make you very proud. And it should therefor put you very much on your guard that there are people who don’t seem content with it, who seem always to wish to impose their own religious belief on this. To say if only we could ban alcohol as in the 20’s we’d have a more pure and perfect union, or if only we could forbid the teaching of evolution, or get equal time for pseudo science, like the alchemy class that follow the chemistry period in presumably these school or the astrology class that comes after the astronomy studies…then everything would be fine. Resist this with every fiber in your being.

If it didn’t religion would have likely died out long ago. It certainly is powerful, dangerously so.
