Religious? I won't say there isn't some rainbow-colored dude out there directing the tangling of my power cords and blooming of my flowers, but he/she/it hasn't yet deigned to leave a card. No imaginary friends, if that's what you mean. Conservative about things I've learned the hard way but very liberal in others. I do not identify with many polar positions other than knowing the fewer the better.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
