So I stand by my original question; how do you choose which one?

Well, you could adopt the one used by the Founders of the USA--briefly, the Judaeo-Christian tradition.

I'll be more specific. How do you make the choice and avoid disagreement?

On this thread alone I see Christianity (with and without Methodists and Episcopalians,) Judeo-Christian and even Liberalism as a religion. Ok, the Liberalism line is probably tongue in cheek, but I doubt you'll ever get total agreement on what is included under the rubric of Judeo-Christian. There will always be disagreement when faith alone is the question.

I know devout Christians that are free market capitalists and devout Christians that are fervent socialists. I recall great pushback when a few ministers (Falwell, Roberts) decided an election had validated their faith. I also recall religious folks of one group pushing back strongly on John Kennedy; worried that he'd be more loyal to the Pope than to the Constitution.

I know Republicans who switched to Democrat because of concerns that the Religious Right was becoming too dominant.

I'd hate to see the conservative movement be set back again because folks are perceived to be confusing an election win with validation of their faith over all others.

You guys go ahead and have the last word; this is too much like arguing taste. I'm checking out of this thread.
