So reads the first page of Caroline Ferdinandsen’s first novel, The Forecast, available this month from Conversant Media Group. Usually, when any form of media starts out with this type of disclaimer, I am immediately biased against it. Many people who call themselves evangelical Christians are falling all over themselves these days to deny that they are religious.

Honestly, I’m a little sick of it, because usually it’s not true. In fact, it has been my experience that the people who say they’re not religious are among the most religious; they’re religious about not being religious. It’s exhausting. Me thinks thou dost protest too much echoes through the cavern between my ears.
