      Thanks for your interest and comments. I apologize that you couldn’t read the whole post. The article is hosted on STLToday’s site, and they’ve been restructuring the way they do their links. The unfortunate side effect is that our links to older articles were broken. We’re currently waiting for them to finalize the new system so we can update all our links. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. For the time being, though, here’s a link to the full article: http://www.stltoday.com/lifestyles/faith-and-values/civil-religion/article_0f9638f6-7df1-55cb-afbf-d2016f063af4.html
