new rumor: Jesus was the antichrist

There is a column in today's Wall Street Journal I couldn't put down, because it reaffirmed for me what a psychotic place the world is. It is written by Harvard professor Samuel Huntington, whose book "Clash of Civilizations" was one of my college reads and was very good.
An excerpt of from the stats part of the column:
In a series of 2002-03 polls, 57% to 65% of Americans said religion was very important in their lives, 23% to 27% said fairly important, and 12% to 18% said not very important... Only about 10% of Americans, however, espouse atheism, and most Americans do not approve of it. Although the willingness of Americans to vote for a presidential candidate from a minority group has increased dramatically--over 90% of those polled in 1999 said they would vote for a black, Jewish or female presidential candidate, while 59% were willing to vote for a homosexual--only 49% were willing to vote for an atheist.
I need to sit and process this for a bit before I can clearly respond. I'm just. Speechless.
