It's true that one can become devout to the point where they worship their religion more than they do God Himself. That can warp minds beyond reality -- feeling a false sense of "enlightenment" more than everyone else, placing oneself above worldly conventions and society, and feeling an entitlement to judge others. However, one can be devout without being dangerous. Mother Teresa, for example, walked the walk while she talked it and she never forgot whom she served. And, one can be dangerous without being particularly devout -- Karl Rove being a good example. Comment by nofltwlt — August 15, 2007 @ 2:21 pm

Dungy's views are his own, and if he wants to "work" for someone whose views match his own, that's his choice.
