During the Academy Awards last Monday night; Jodie Foster, who was
handing out the Oscars for screenwriting, said something interesting
about writers.  She was reading from the teleprompter a line about how
the Writer is viewed as a 'Deity' in the business.  At that point she
interjected - 'Interesting, since most of them are agnostic'.  Now,
while most people who frequent this forum know you readily fit that
label, is it, in your experience, true of most of the other professional
writers in the field?

It's not my experience that most writers in town are agnostic, but I don't
get around as much as Jodi (no sarcasm intended; she's done a wide range
of work).  I wouldn't agree, though that doesn't make it untrue, just that
my experience doesn't reflect that.
