Actually its not a religious newspaper. It has one article a day on religion. Otherwise its one of the most respected newspapers there is. Its up there with the NY Times, Washington Post, etc.

I didn't even read article, I just happened to see "foreign countries" and "Oregon" in the same sentence. :D

...and you read right past "57 states" (x2), "450 years," "George Jefferson" (x2), ..., ..., ... to get there.
