Twenty years ago, conservatives started referring to Judeo-Christian values in an effort to be more inclusive. The challenge now is to figure out how to talk in a way that doesn't cause decent and dedicated Christians to pull in like a turtle, while also appealing to non-Judeo-Christians and the nonreligious.

Goldberg makes some good points. Look, I am a Christian and not ashamed of the Gospel. If we can get Buddhists and Jews and Hindus to agree with us on sanctity of life and free markets, let's do it.

I just really don't care anymore about people for whom any mention of Christianity is taken as some kind of existential threat.

No other religion on this planet is expected to self-censor itself in public so thoroughly, and no other one does.

I don't want any more hot house flowers who wet their pants when they hear someone else's opinion; this country already has enough of them.

Is this the great "immigrant spirit" we're supposed to worship?

He's telling you to drop the Christianity, abrogate your faith publicly, and to burn incense on the public altar of "humanism".

Stop being such an American! You're making the new neighbors nervous!
