Poznati komičar, ateist Tim Minchin krenuo je na turneju po najreligiozniim saveznim državama SADa. Amerikanci su notorno religiozni, ali, zaključuje Michin, ako ih je samo 10% ateista, to je ipak 33 milijuna onih koji mogu kartu kupit za njegovu predstavu.
Michin opisuje kako su mu u Texasu odbili iznajmiti klavir jer ga atistu ni za milijun dolara ne bi dali. To su mu napisali u mailu napisanom samo velikim slovima na što Minchin kaže:
It is clear from the use of caps that the writer of this email is a bit of a goose, and I am certainly not suggesting he is a typical Christian, nor a typical citizen of Dallas. But it’s amusing that it happened to be here in Texas that I came across my first proper religious nut. The governor of this fine state is Rick Perry, the Republican presidential frontrunner and a genuine capital-C Conservative – anti-socialist, pro-guns, anti-gay – and yet quaintly enamoured of the aforementioned long-dead Semitic pacifist who said wealth was bad and that you should love everybody. (Perry is also a global-warming denialist ? once you reject evidence as a source of knowledge, you don’t gotta believe nothin’ you don’t like.)
Minchin ne propušta priliku narugati se konzervativnom predsjedničkom kandidatu koji troši novce da skupi velik broj ljudi kako bi boga molili za kišu (a ne čita prognozu vremena). Guardian.
