Brit Hume of Fox News stirred up a hornet's nest when he suggested, on the air, that Tiger Woods should convert from Buddhism to Christianity, where, quoth Hume, he could find forgiveness for his marital sins.
Hume was immediately savaged by the broadcast Left, including Keith Olbermann and David Schuster: not so much for his bad manners in suggesting a stranger convert, but for referencing his Christian faith at all. Schuster went so far as to claim Hume had violated a "separation of Church and television."
Was Hume out of line? Did his critics go overboard? Both? Is religious belief now to be kept hidden away, unfit for the public square?
