Yes Chance, what you said makes perfect sense. Speaking as a "religious clown", but first as a Christian & firm believer in Jesus Christ, I think that you hear more about religion from those who are religious because it's something we are passionate about. It's something we believe in & have found peace & joy with and we want to share it with everyone. For me, clowning is a way to reach out to people & share God's love with those who might not be as receptive to someone "shoving the Gospel down their throat." (Which isn't they way it should be done in any venue). Also, I have found that in teaching anyone, if you make it more fun or interesting, they tend to receive & retain it better. So when it's something as important as where you'll spend eternity, well that makes it all the more important that you get the message out to anyone who will listen.
