I don't think it matters, and do not believe you can find anything or any organization that is ENTIRELY SECULAR, and wonder why it matters so much that you mention it, especially as it relates to this disaster. There is so much fear and hatred and ranting in all of these 'improvetheworld' notes. I wonder why we all can't just get along?
