Does your local secular newspaper have a religion section? The Savannah News Press does not seem to have a regular Saturday religion section. The Augusta Chronicle does and both newspapers are owed by the same corporation.
The Macon Telegraphy has a religion section on Saturday or at least did when I lived there.
In the 1990's the Columbus Leger as well as the Augusta Chronicle both had religion writers for local stories and that was their job to write about religion only. Augusta's religion reporter was Catholic and most of her stories were on Catholic themes and she got away with it.
But this is my complaint. Most religion sections are in Saturday's paper and the very last section and usually after the Pet Section!!!!
Shouldn't religious news be mainstreamed. For example, in this morning's Augusta Chronicle the article I post below on the three local Protestant pastors supporting President Trump is the front page news story, not relegated to the religion section and its fluff. And this front page story is on the top half of the paper.
Isn't that where religious news belongs and not exiled to the vey last section of the newspaper right before the want ads?

That three Augusta area pastors would be in support of President Trump is hardly news.
The Chronicle uses this "story" - opinion thinly disguised as news - to advance its own political agenda, i.e. supporting our lying, adulterous, fake Christian President.
When local papers start featuring stories about religion - how the new mosque in town feeds the hungry, how the long-established synagogue provides housing to LGBTQ minors thrown out of their homes, how the Buddhist temple has 40 members who started and run and adult literacy program - the howls of discontent here will be, well, hilarious.
Now, now 'anonymous,' your hatred of Trump's politics is causing you to judge soooooo 'rigidly.' Get with the 'amoris laetitia' program. Trump may have come to discern that he is in God's good graces in his new 'marriage.'
This 'God of surprises' that Francis talks about, may have given us Trump as a surprise!
Dan, That you are comfortable with enabling a man who sins gravely is your affair, not mine.
The "God of Surprises" may have one in store for you.
Anon @3:25, Everyone sins gravely. If sinners cannot serve as leaders, there will be no leaders.
