So where does that leave us?

Enlightened self interest. Free will with responsibility for our actions. Tenents ironically from Christianity. But as our world is heading to relive the 1700s, thanks to people like the trial lawyers, guess it will be a few wars till we get back to the idea of our founding fathers again.I wonder if the fact that we have to relive our mistakes over and over again is coded into our genes?

It's also a stretch to "guarantee" that every trial lawyer and ACLU lawyer is an atheist.

LOL...Maybe some are praying like crazy on the weekends to make up for the weekday activities.

Could you please describe how 'enlightened self interest' is a Christian tenet?

(This reminds me of Kevin Kline's version of Buddhism in 'A fish called Wanda'.)
