Yes, an environment free of non-believers, and of course one free of those that don't share their religious beliefs…or are we talking about a different environment :roll:

aside: there was some sort of a gospel/religious concert on the mall itself. my girlfriend put forth the hypothesis that it was a conservative/republican anti-live earth concert

Probably not, because they regularly have evangelical events down there, and have done so all throughout the Bush admin. Many of them are representing programs getting federal grants via 'faith-based initiatives', Cha-Ching! The biggest one I encountered might've been the Louis Palau shindig, which sought to associate evangelical Christianity with Xtreme sports. But the funniest was more recently: there was a band playing Christian Rock on this way-huge stage with a massive PA system. There was no audience so I figured it was a warm-up for something. Then I realized that it was the actual show, and as I crossed the lawn at a distance the singer beckoned the people who where crossing the lawn to come down closer to the stage… I looked around and I was the only person crossing the lawn

the melissa was televised but after 20 minutes into her single song plus rant it was time to move along….

did i write anything that should make you think otherwise? we're talking about one specific instance, and you're taling about all religious people everywhere.

(FYI, she's very involved with her religion and is certainly one of the hippiest, greenest tree-huggers you'll come across - so she knows for a fact that the religious can be enviros since she is one)
