There's a word I have used on few occasions that pretty much describes the situation. It's basically means having the quality of seeming real/true. Authors and writers use it by adding words/details to their writings that makes them more believable.
The word is verisimilitude. I'm certain a man with Langan's intelligence can easily give his paperwork a quality of believability to the receptive minds.
Hmm. I wonder if it's worth starting a new franchise.

Saw a mom, dad & 2 young kids holding hands and praying out loud inside a McDonald's once. Hard to be critical.

Audibly giving "thanks" before meals may be one universal tendency in the Christian world. In Islam, public liturgy seems to compromise quiet and noisy. Surah al-Israa 17:110: ".
...And offer your Salat (prayer) neither aloud nor in a low voice, but follow a way between."

Yeah, that's clear as mud. Just thinking CC, those who cannot speak or have had their tongue cut out are at a huge disadvantage.
