Biologos: People To Ponder

One of the positions our Founding Fathers set up for us and which have lasted until the present day. What they set up has worked out pretty well overall (this too shall pass :slight_smile:) one would have to say. From their Enlightenment perspective they had pretty good reasons to build the “wall of separation” between religion and politics in our constitution and subsequent precedent. You guys have managed to work things out well since then, and it works no doubt. But there are still good arguments for keeping any individual religious perspective out of a government for all and paid for by all. Frankly, if the majority of religious perspective in the US had more in common with say present company, I would be less concerned in general. Some of the fascists out there are a little frightening and when they try to get their foot in the door, it’s not simply about having their private beliefs (not referring here to the case under question in the OP, personally). No one is stopping anyone in US politics from having their private beliefs (often and publicly stated) as you do seem to have noticed!
