Marissa Mayer's answer as to what comes first for her "God, family and Yahoo in that order"...

got me wondering if she might perhaps be a RW fundie type. So, because I'm a curious I started to google and all I could come up with was that she seems to be a practicing Lutheran.

Thus, Mayer endeared herself to Christian groups around the globe. Mayer is Lutheran, by the way. But the 37-year-old chief was waving the flag for the iconic football coach's credo, not so much flaunting her religion.

No big deal, not a RW fundie as far as I can tell.

But in my quest to answer my curiosity about that, I stumbled across this about her brother Mason. All I can say is thank god for Gloria Allred whom I admire very much for the work she does for battered women.
