   Actually, I've heard it argued, LOGICALLY, that Mathematics is the only   
   religion that can PROVE it is a religion :-)   
      
   Mathematics (as in the BELIEF that set theory actually describes the   
   real world) can be nothing BUT a religion. I have yet to see anybody   
   even ATTEMPT to provide proof that it actually works, and I've asked   
   often enough, on these very newsgroups! Its proponents just ASSUME that   
   it works, without any evidence.
