Killing the Buddha

How I wound up over there is way too long a story, but I just spent lunch zipping through the archives at Killing the Buddha, a great site discussing faith -- or as they call themselves, "a religious magazine for those made anxious by churches."

I particularly liked this article on the link between Protestant tradition, American exceptionalism, and their co-evolution into modern conservatism. It's an elegantr explanation of some hinks in national character I've spent years trying to explain to Canadian and European friends.
