Religious lunacy

Well, I might be a heretic, or even an atheist, and that is why I stumbled over this article in Newsweek this morning. Apart from the fact that Newsweek might be read by the lesser intellectual body of your United States, something really horrifying came to my understanding.
Of the persons that participated in the Newsweek poll 91% admitted they believe in God (of which 82% is in some way Christian).
The horrifying part is that:
"Nearly half (48 percent) of the public rejects the scientific theory of evolution; one-third (34 percent) of college graduates say they accept the Biblical account of creation as fact. Seventy-three percent of Evangelical Protestants say they believe that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years; 39 percent of non-Evangelical Protestants and 41 percent of Catholics agree with that view."
Are you out of your minds? Of course I already thought so, as might be clear to you already if you read my previous posts carefully.
Is it that God is putting your faith to the test by putting all those fossils and other remnants into geological formations? Or can't you grasp the carbon dating technique, or do you regard this as the works of the devil himself while it tries to prove that what the bible tells you in the literary sense is false? When you read the bible while regarding any God whatsoever as non-existent you will be able to see how cruel mankind (whatsinaname) really can be.
Are you this god-riddenly insane people that want to spread 'wisdom' throughout the rest of the world, be it or be it not by force if you regard this a necessity? It is you who should be put away behind bars until declared sane if you even think you are entitled to do this. You are a clear and present danger to humanity.
All of you? No, while Newsweek continues: "Just 3 percent of the public self-identifies as atheist, suggesting that the term may carry some stigma." There is some hope here, while the tolerance to atheists might be increasing, and 49 percent think they know an atheist personally. "Sixty-one percent of the under-30 cohort view society as more accepting of atheists (compared to 40 percent of the Americans 50 and older)."
Unfortunately we will have to wait some more decades before we can really trust you while right now you are slaughtering and imprisoning innocent people (for what?) with the bible in your bloody hands. You must be berserk. Your president, of which we know he is a firm believer, not only in God, but also in your judicial system ("While many of the letters are directed to the Governor, they are stamped as received at the General Counsel's office and there is no indication that the Governor reviewed them"), has the feeble mindedness in being reluctant to close down the extrajudicial torturing camp Guantánamo Bay, because he declares its inmates as dangerous (yes, they must be really angry at you by now), even before they are tried, though not according to US laws because these creatures cannot be given the same rights as 'real' americans, while he swore three times in a row to bring them to justice. So what is 'justice', how many are there of them? How much more stupidity will be fatal for good governance in your country?
Not only your war efforts, but your corrupt management as well are bringing your economy to the brink of sheer bankruptcy. How are you going to react to this as the starving vultures you will find yourselves to be, with all that first amendment self protective weaponry right at hand? Are you going to slaughter yourselves, or will you find yourselves plundering any nation that has to be proved to what democracy really means?
You may find that your computer systems cannot manage the amount of potential terrorists any longer. Someone should stand up and kill your presidency before it is too late.
