My godless money. Take it or leave it.

When you listen to the words of the CNN commentator, replace terms like “religious,” “Christian,” and “faith” with, oh let’s see, how about “African American,” Black” and if you like, the “n-word.” Or, if you don’t want to do this with race, you can do this with a religion.
