[a] man who claims he returned to his Catholic roots after divorcing a Jewish woman was granted permission to take his 3-year-old daughter to Catholic church, despite his ex-wife’s wishes.Joseph Reyes, who baptized his 3-year-old daughter without her mother’s permission, faced jail time after a Cook County judge granted his ex a temporary restraining order barring him from exposing the child to any religion other than Judaism.

I don’t know what’s worse: the particulars of the case or the name someone gave to the url over at The Huffington Post:

Lifelong theists (“I have always believed in God”) are disproportionately from lower socio-economic groups while lifelong atheists (“I have never believed in God”) are disproportionately from higher socio-economic groups.

But then the surprise:

Converts to theism (“I believe in God now but have not always done so”) are disproportionately from upper and upper-middle-class social groups while converts to atheism (“I used to believe in God but I no longer do so”) are disproportionately from lower social groups. Since education strongly correlates with social standing, the study came across similar findings when education was examined.
