A True Story: I knew/know a man who was a resolute Atheist, a very wealthy Conservative, and almost Sociopath in his ability to navigate Social Networks (IRL). His second marriage was to a widow whose husband was some sort of Political Fixer, a member of the Bohemian Grove, and very close friends with the Bush family. This man was very passionate about getting admitted into the Bohemian Grove, purely so that he could have business connections with the Wealthiest people he could.
