Voting Irregularities (4)

From the foreign correpondents...

#1:

... politics is an actual religion for some people, the voting booth a true confessional. Listening to people preach at me to vote, literally like my salvation is dependent upon it. I am interested, also, in the fact that many of these preachers tend to be atheists, theologically speaking, and I am wondering about what it must be like for them, is it a monotheism where democracy is the one true god, or is it something else, a pantheon of politicians playing the roles of many gods and demis?
