Pope Benedict XVI set off a flurry of anti-Catholic bashing in Canada when he denounced gay marriage and abortion. The vituperative response of the Canadian Drive By Media was to lecture the Pope to "stay out of Canadian politics." In less than a few generations, the Left has succeeded in stigmatizing religion and rendering traditional values quaint and this has left the latter powerless to influence contemporary public discourse. But if morality does not guide the law, if in fact there is no such thing as absolute right and wrong, it begs the question of why have laws in the first place. After all, the law itself is based on morality, stupid. Anyway, in the Brave New World of the Left, the only people qualified to have a say in public life are atheists and secularists. A development that has been none too good for the state of public morality in Canada and also in the United States.

"You keep your religion and your Apostles' Creed out of our politics, Pope! Our politics already have an underlying religion. It's called secular humanism, and our creed is Humanist Manifesto II!"

Government IS Religion applied to Economics.

Governments pass laws, according to what society thinks is right or wrong, which is based on morality/religion.

I've said it since I first began feeling it in college in the 90s: the diversity/tolerance police have been doing our nation and the world no service.
