Pretend Christians

From the inbox over at the Freakonomics blog, a family in Texas pretends to be Christian so that their children won't be excluded from play dates.

We found by experience that if we were truthful about not being regular church attenders, the play dates suddenly ended. Thus started the faking of the religious funk.

Thankfully this doesn't seem to be an issue in Manhattan. (via clusterflock)
