The challenge for any responsible journalist approaching this subject, then, is twofold. She must approach with compassion, avoiding the stereotyping that so often characterizes books and articles about religious groups.

Kerry may be a long way from securing his party’s nomination, but he’s already gunning for November’s fight against the president.
