the orange steaming pile of poo is the fucking opposite of 'religious'.

he sees religion as the biggest, longest-running, most successful grift of all time.. and he's been missing out.

So... the most famous religious person I've heard of?

Famous people and following a religion don't mix and never will. But those are who run most Americans mega churches now. Religion is dead.

This seems to me like you're describing religious leaders as a whole.

The drive to climb up any church hierarchy doesn't come from religious fervour. It comes from the lust for power.

Truth. The american revolution was merely a method to create a new ruling class without claiming to be a monarchy appointed by god.
