The idea of being "religion neutral" or "morally neutral" is both a logical fallacy and an impossibility. It may be in a theocracy, but this is not a theocracy. It's a really simple concept that I know can be hard for theocrats like yourself to understand: just treat people the same, and afford them the same rights and privileges, without regard to religion. That's called freedom.
Atheism is also a religion
And "bald" is a hair color.
The preference of one religion (Christianity) has resulted in the most free and most prosperous nation on earth
It has also resulted in countless horrors and abuses throughout history, right up to Charles Taylor, a "good Christian" according to Pat Robertson.
Sorry, AFAIK, no theocracy or government led by religion has ever protected the rights of all of its people (I'll have to check on the politics of the Tibetan Buddhists to be sure I'm right though). It is precisely because the Founders separated the official power of government from religion that we have the freedoms we do today.
Religious people acting on their Christian convictions have produced a relatively free country here, but that is partially because it was within the confines of law that restricts their ability to completely impose their Christian will on the nation. Can you imagine what this country would be like as a Christian theocracy? If the laws of the Bible (aside from Kosher law) were put into place?
The Christian "theocracy" thing is just a canard used to scare people. Christianity is not so monolithic as that.
The only "power" that Christians have lies in the ability to persuade people (with the Holy Spirit) through declarations of truth and reasoning. Then the people who have been persuaded vote accordingly and contact their representatives. This is somehow seen as a "threat." An all-out assault is currently being waged to strip Christians of the ability to speak, and participate in government, through the use of activist judges and groups like the ACLU. The opinions of Christians are slowly being redefined as "hate speech."
no theocracy or government led by religion
I don't think I said anything about government "led by religion." Rather, our national consciences and laws have been informed by the Christian religion. This is not opinion - it is an undeniable fact.
All this talk of Christians "imposing their will" is just silly. Are you completely blind? Look around - whose will is being imposed on whom? Like I said - the only abliity any Christian has to impose his will is through the appropriate channels of representative government, just like everyone else.
Speaking of "imposing wills" - here is a
good example.
