So there are no absolutes? Every nation which says it's "guided by God" is equally questionable?

This is why those who believe in evolution and those who don't appear to speak different languages altogether.

Our presuppositions are miles apart.

I agree with you on this.

I believe our freedoms under our Constitution are absolute, including our freedom to worship or not worship as we each of us see fit. Above all, it is freedom from 'thought police'

By all means, guide your own life, and the life of your faith community by your belief in your God. But the wall separating church and state is in the best interests of both church and state. A Church endowed with great secular power may be too easily corrupted, and a state ruled as a theocracy to readily descends into dreary conformism and murderous despotism
