    I can't really see any good of it though, I don't see religion as a product you need to 'sell' to someone

    You know, I can't recall ever seeing a "church" commercial here in the states, either.

    It would be quite a rare event.

    Edit: As Vidcc said above, but better than I. Except he meant "satellite"

    I've seen a few local(ish) adverts from churches but they weren't "calls to prayer" rather publicising events etc. then at the end mentioning the church

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    no i meant satelite, I created my own word to avoid stepping on the toes of those who are married to their dictionary God

    Oh, sorry-

    No dodge intended, just thought the piece was a bit crude; I would contend (as one who believes, though in a largely non-denominational fashion) that, especially at this particular point in time, religion is best served by a certain magnanimity I didn't see in evidence.

    That is to say, as rough a go as Christian religion is having these days, it does them no credit to act like political rivals, with the attendent vitriol, etc.

    I have seen "Calls to Worship"; the "what" and "where" of it, but not this type of thing.

    As an initial effort, a small property, I think.
