12/28   Looking for a religiousness density map based on county. Is there
        one out there?
        \_ Try http://search.census.gov/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&affiliate=census&query=religion+by+county
           \_ Public Law 94-521 prohibits us from asking a question on religious
              affiliation on a mandatory basis; therefore, the Bureau of the Census
              is not the source for information on religion.

12/5    Why the hell are there so many Christians in the Fremont area?
        \_ Really?  I know there are a lot of Chinese- and Indian-Americans.
           Fremont is also the city with the highest Afghan- population in the
           U.S., but their numbers are no match to the Chinese- and Indian-
           there.

Mr Moore now has until midnight on Wednesday (0500 GMT Thursday) to comply with a federal court order to remove the monument, which is inscribed with the Ten Commandments. But he pledged defiance, saying the decision "will not deter me from continuing to fight for the right of our state to acknowledge God as the moral foundation of our law," in a statement read by his spokesman. Critics of the 2,500-kilogram (5,300-pound) granite slab say it violates the constitutional separation of church and state. The state could face fines of up to $5,000 a day if it refuses to comply with the federal court order to remove the stone, which is nicknamed "Roy's holy rock". Mr Moore, a conservative Baptist, was elected to two years ago based on a campaign pledge to install "the law God gave to Moses" in his courthouse. He has the monument installed last July, in the rotunda of the judicial building. The Supreme Court offered no comment in its one-line order rejecting Mr Moore's appeal. Prayer vigil In a ruling last year, a federal court judge decided the religious monument crossed the line "between the permissible and the impermissible". Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore Moore was elected on a platform of installing God in court But Mr Moore has strongly resisted the calls for it to be removed, insisting that it is statement of the Christian roots of the law. He said last week he would defy the federal judge's order, arguing that the lower court had no power to rule on the matter. About 30 Christians have been holding a prayer vigil in Montgomery to oppose the removal of the stone.
