Ever notice that this section, (Politics) is moving further to the right day by day ? I haven't been to "Politics" all that long, but I see so few liberal questions and answers.

The Religion and Spirituality section though,is solidly to the left left and atheist. I heard that it used to be a predominantly Christian board at the birth of Yahoo Answers (2005).

1. I recently discovered it, since I have a Yahoo e-mail account.
My answer got picked a couple of times, but these were on health questions. I wasn't surprised, since a lot of the answers weren't particularly helpful and kind of silly. :shrug:

2. Not in a while. I watched it for a bit, and was constantly shocked when totally inane answers
were chosen over those that were much more correct or appropriate to the question.

3. I often see Yahoo Answers pop up during searches - more often than not
the answers are inane, and sometimes genuinely frightening that someone would believe them or follow the advice.
