I was lucky enough to be able to attend Jon Stewart’s Rally to Restore Sanity in Washington D.C. last weekend, and I took the opportunity to talk to people with signs pertaining to religion what their signs meant to them.
The Rally itself commented on the problems of religious dogma through the character of Father Guido Sarducci, who named off religions and asked God to indicate which is the correct faith by sending some sort of sign. Like the entire Rally, this was a great example of making an important point through comedy; but I have to admit, I felt a twinge of being left out – nonbelievers were not even mentioned.
