Washington and Adams would definitely disagree about your position on religion and liberty guaranteed by the Constitution, but that will remain a point of disagreement between traditionalists and libertarians.

Basically, we have a government hostile to religion and traditional morality that subsidizes the consequences of asocial behaviors that result from the deconstruction of personal morality and responsibility. We would be better off with a government that is truly NEUTRAL about religion and morality than one that is hostile to those concepts. On that point, I think we can both find agreement. The Constitution severely limited the federal government's role in those areas of social life. Now we can see why.

I agree in complete agreement with this. One of the biggest problems is that organized religion is in bed with those in gooberment whose programs are destroying our country.
