I'm not sure what the consequences are, but it may mean that every Christian in England has to leave the country. Expect mobs of pious Anglicans to start washing up on beaches in Virginia and Pennsylvania any day now.

I'm not sure how I feel about Hitchens. I regularly read him in Free Inquiry and usually agree with him but I really don't care for his demeanor the times I've seen him on TV. Just my 2 cents worth...
