O'Conner has gotten it wrong on both Hitler and Stalin. Hitler was openly religious while Stalin had conflicting policies. He suppressed some religious groups but supported others.

Stalin had irrational beliefs about science as the book "Stalin and the Soviet Science Wars" by Ethan Pollack describes.

It sounds much like the Republican War on Science today.

For more details on the candidates' faith, the Belief Net is running a series of interviews with them. First, John Edwards.

He comes off like a real wanker.

Then, Dennis Kucinich.

He comes across relatively well by not getting into any pandering.

Subsequent interviews should also be informative.
