Now, I'm not certain what they meant by "biblical justifications for divorce," but the fact that anyone would say that abandonment is a ground for divorce but domestic violence isn't is incomprehensible.

Why do you say people were voting "against" christianity?The votes were for the position that atheism is the only rational position. That isn't a vote "against" christianity. It's simply an acknowledgement that christianity is based on faith, not reason. While I have no doubt that the poll was spammed, most thinking christians that I know say that it wasn't reason that led them to thir belief. It's mostly the fundies who wrap themselves up in knots trying, in vain, to establish logic in the bible.While christianity has some marvelous philosophy of life stuff, you start to get into trouble when you try to make it do things that it just can't.
