A point I often bring up with my wife, who teaches both history and religous studies*, and it really winds her up.

*She likes it to be called Philosophy and Ethics nowadays as kids have an immediate revulsion to anything religous but have an open mind for a topic title they've never heard of before. And there are fewer and fewer reference to religion.

Sounds like the US Presidents

In truth it sounds like politicians, apart from the last bit as some never get to a position where they can make intervensions.
