You will find very few people with any sort of fame or a public high standard at all that would be willing to disregard religion based on the simple fact that they would never want to deal with the bigotry.

Uhm... this isn't the 50's... society doesn't care if famous people are religious or not.

Yoshua the Son of Yosef from the province of Judaea, as reported by Tacitus and Josephus, known as "The Christ" and "the messiah" to his followers.
the histories of literature, philosophy, science, poetry etc. are filled with religious figures from cultural sphere to cultural sphere.

it's the fucked up belief of the church of New Atheism that states that religious figures from Thomas of Aquinas to the fucking pope (you get the gist) were actually religious :bonk:

sounds like you're quoting lord of the rings or something.

Some maybe but Rodgers is devout.

If you are serious I can make you a list of about 100 famous living Christians who are geniuses off the top of my head.

what's your gauge of genius? I'm sure that ours gauges vastly differ.

The poll I looked at had conservatives being around 40 percent.

A small percentage of that number might care if someone is Christian or not. The media clearly doesn't give a shit.

I have a hard time believing that, through the stories of most religions, that jesus, or your mesiah is one person. The thought lingers that Jesus was a title, similar to that of a pope, of a religious leader.g. Listen it all makes a great story for me and if a large portion of Rome wasn't burned, more than likely leaving the useless fairy tails of an author named tacitus rather than historical documentation, i might buy into it more. But I've read the bible, two versions, though extremely entertaining as a story, no righteous god would be so vindictive of this own children. I'm a father myself, a loving one, and i would know nothing of destroying life, even if had created it.
