The prime minister of Spain is an outspoken atheist and socialist. The prime minister of Canada might as well be one, too. The US president and the governor of California make three and four. They are the apathostics. All you do is add up.

“… when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people … will hate the new world order, be rendered unhappy by the frustration of their passions and ambitions through its advent and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people.” Quote from The New World Order, by H.G. Wells, 1940, courtesy of Wikipedia.com.

Wikipedia calls the New World Order a conspiracy theory, but Wells might have seen the coming future. He was a science fiction writer. Would he think I was a gallant and graceful-looking person? Yes, I think so because I can add up. You can be one, too, with this math trick.
