We can be friends if you are unbeliever, certainly. You are also fortunate to live in a nation that allows you to be an athiest, unlike say Saudi Arabia or Iran. As I’m fortunate to live in a nation that allows me for the moment to worship as I wish.

I think Beck’s point is that we should return to the original founders view that America is an exceptional nation in the sense that it was able to accomplish what no other group of people in human history had been able to accomplish, self government. But with self government comes the notion of the law being above man so that self government is possible and that the laws originate with God.

This is the same view as Lincoln and DeTocqueville among others.

Turn to God and He will turn to you.

I love America and I am proud to be an American. I don’t mind our laws to come from God (although I don’t believe in God). It is much better than the laws and rights coming from a politburo.
