@ Didge: God has done considerably better than the new religion that came to the fore in the first half of the 20th century in large parts of the world, complete with its sects and heresies, e.g., Marxist-Leninists, Trotskyites, Stalinists, Maoists, etc.
Today, very few take any of them seriously any more, except of course for some academic fellow travelers, a North Korean lunatic and a superannuated Cuban dictator.
