That sparked a little light in the minds of political campaign managers: Pretend to be a religious fanatic and you can pick up a third of the vote right away. Nobody asked whether Lyndon Johnson went to church every day. Bill Clinton is probably about as religious as I am, meaning zero, but his managers made a point of making sure that every Sunday morning he was in the Baptist church singing hymns.” MindFirstsLittlesMadePlayLightChristianPoliticalPresidentBornChurchReligiousRolesMorningAtheismMajorsSingingPicksVoteThirdsElectionBillsClintonAtheistCampaignsManagersSundayZeroJohnsonFanaticsJimmyCarterBaptistsBorn AgainHymnsSunday MorningPolitical CampaignReligious Fanatics Author:Noam Chomsky
