I think many topics are mostly separated, but it makes no sense to demand a COMPLETE separation.

As an easy, non-political, non-ideological example, hockey and tennis are separate sports. However, Bjorn Borg took a slap shot from hockey and adapted it to tennis with success.

Science and religion are mostly separate. However Copernicus, for one, sought to understand the glories of God’s creation and greatly advanced science.

Judaism and Christianity are about one’s relation to God. I think that is good. They are far better than Islam, which is a religion fashioned for political and military conquest.

The religious and the secular are mostly separate. However, the Christian opposition to slavery made the world a better place. According to a book by D’Souza, schools and hospitals are among the institutions that are primarily religious (Christian) in origin.

I find myself at odds with a belief of the left, both atheist left and religious left. They believe it compassionate and charitable to spend other people’s money to help the poor. That sure is a cheap way to achieve virtue. Sorry, it’s too good to be true.

Give one’s own time or money. Giving someone else’s money (through government taxation and spending) is theft. Christians should have a problem with theft.
