So my thread of the day is BROWN, which one is Browner than the rest of the Brownies, all have that extra edge about them. One is a writer that says
Christianity is a hidden lie, one is an illusionist that says religion is an illusion and the other is a Leader who likes to give out illusions’
that all is well i government, ha-ha that was just a pun. But one is a leader of Great Britain and deals with worldly affairs. Which one is Brower and
has the most impact short term long term, in the media or each other?

Dan Brown (born June 22, 1964) is an American author of thriller fiction, best known for the 2003 bestselling novel, The Da Vinci Code. Brown's
novels, which are treasure hunts set in a 24-hour time period,[1] feature the recurring themes of cryptography, keys, symbols, codes, and conspiracy
theories. His books have been translated into over 40 languages, and as of 2009, sold over 80 million copies.
Brown's novels that feature the lead character Robert Langdon also include historical themes and Christianity as recurring motifs, and as a result,
have generated controversy. Brown states on his website that his books are not anti-Christian, though he is on a 'constant spiritual journey'
himself, and says of his book The Da Vinci Code that it is simply "an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests
that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith".[
