“The Founding Fathers, en masse, would have been outraged to see the purported arguments for removing all religion from government bodies and activities”
There many different interpretations of what the founding fathers would want. You just happen to site one of many. That still is irrelevant. Religion is used as a mechanism of control and manipulation by the ruling class. I’m not an Atheist, I still cringe when a politician invokes God.
As I said in another thread religion is used for secular rule.
“As evidence, here is a book documenting that over 100 million people have been killed by secular communist and socialists governments:”
So this is how we measure the “goodness” of a government. I bet religious governments have a little blood on their hands as well, don’t ya think.
“and we’ll make the dollar worthless, reduce our economic edge internationally, and many of our citizens will live a life that is nasty, brutal, and short”
To late we are there all ready. The funny thing is GWB really put the last nail in the coffin of America and he did so on a religious platform by starting a religious war. Well the religion aspect really garnered a lot of support his ridiculous oil-world domination adventure.
I think Bertrand Russell pointed out something very valuable. He said that, as a point of logic, not all religions could be true because they contradict each other. They can, however, all be wrong.
The religion any particular person believes is statistically a function of the network of conversations the person was born into, not whether it is “true” or even that the person carefully studied his options and picked the religion he thought was most useful to him.
So bottom line, keep YOUR religion out of my face….
