This appears to be a pretty exhaustive list of science fiction/fantasy writers and their religious affiliations.

Note that Stephen King, whose novels and short stories are rife with Christian fundamentalist whack jobs (think Carrie , The Mist , and Misery real fast), is listed as a Methodist. And it’s not every day that you see Pat Robertson and Jules Verne so closely allied. (Gotta love Aldous Huxley under “Hindu.” And how “Objectivist” is now a religion. I’m certain Ms. Rand would have loved that . . . )

Also noteworthy is the lengthy catalogue of LDS writers. Just an observation. I’m not drawing any conclusions.

I’m not.
I’m not.
Stop it.

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
