Ummm... That's a painting, not a photograph.
You serious?! Wow, fooled me!
While it's true that 200+ years ago religion seems to have played a bigger role in everyday life for people, the truth is today the consequences of world leaders actions is far more dire than it was back then. Back then, if a king or president decided to go to war based on prayer, the worst that could happen is that leader could lose his position, or his government, or his country, but today a bad decision to go to war could cost us all of humanity.
The cold war has been over so long, that people seem to think extinction by nuclear war is a thing of the past. It is still a very real and present danger. It is actually pretty scary how limited an exchange has to be to end our time on this planet.
I feel sorry for people who believe they are the highest power in the Universe.
