I love it as irony and as a continuing sign of the times: My local newspaper, as many others across the nation, recently eliminated its religion editor and weekly religion section while adding a weekly sports "extra" supplement. It's more important to know who has successfully moved a ball across a field or an arena court than it is to know who has successfully or unsuccessfully challenged traditional concepts of God or the established authority of churches. Americans are comforted, I think, by the precision of numbers and rankings.
