I'm a writer of faith who worries about the intolerance of religion. I look at the past and fear we haven't learned from it.

My childhood was marked by the great fear of nuclear holocaust. We practiced our Civil Defense Drills, lining up in hallways, curled to the floor, but we knew we'd die or, worse, survive only to suffer radiation and slow death.
