You're kidding, right? You are aware that all the fredoms you enjoy as an American came DIRECTLY out of Biblical roots, implemented by men who - to a man - would be called "religious right wing zealots" today, aren't you?

Are you aware that our president, GWB, IS the "religious right wing"? (just so that you don't misunderstand, I believe that 90% of the people classified as "right-wing-bible-thumping-evangelicals" by the no-nothings of the liberal elite are in fact patriotic Americans with faith in God and love for their fellow man, as exemplified by our president.)

Please don't say you're one of those "secular conservatives" who believes in economic conservatism and libertarianism everywhere else. If you are, I am hazarding a guess that you are from one of the "blue zones" along the coasts that went for algore with such blind passion, and that you don't have much of a clue as to what REAL America (ie. "flyover country") is like....

"no-nothings" = Know-Nothings. A 19th century political party that believed that immigrants and Catholics should not vote or hold public office.

No, I doubt very much that I would consider the Founding Fathers to be evangelicals "to a man." Most were Christians, some more devout than others, some were deists.

The moral and legal sources upon which the Foundation rests are several, and include ancient Rome, ancient Greece, and principles of the Enlightenment, as well as religion.

No, I am aware that all the freedoms we enjoy came directly out of the English Enlightenment, and the abandonment of primitive superstition.

I know what GWB is, I have known his family most of my life.

I think at least 50% of 'Evangelical Christians' are Christians out of hope of seeing their fellow man suffer in hell, not love of God or mankind. They are haters as vicious as the Spanish Inquisition or the KGB.
They would happily burn every single person who doesn't worship at their church at the stake and toast marchmallows over the coals.

Yes, I am a Secular Conservative just like Barry Goldwater, and I am from Houston. You don't guess very well.
