In Caprica, as I understand it after one episode, is that there is a pluralistic society, but a group of monotheists want to force the society to worship their one god, and stage a series of terrorist attacks, that lead eventually to a takeover by killer robots bent on destroying humanity.

A metaphor for the Republican Religious Right.

Why can't Obama admit he was a Muslim?  His father was Muslim, his stepfather was Muslim, he lived in Indonesia, you don't choose your religion as a kid.  So why can't he say, he was  Muslim and then he became a Christian?  Because of the corroding of politics by people like the Prayer Caucus founder. 

But, when it comes to it, is Obama a Christian?  No, because Christians don't drop drones on wedding parties.  Quote Sermon on the Mount.  Can you have morality without gods? Yes, because I (LeGrow) believe in the Golden Rule.
