You are saying that religion and culture are two separate things.....what about the Pledge of Allegiance? One Nation Under God.

I guess you are saying that because religion and culure are separate you might not have any values.....is that it?

Might be what’s wrong with our nation — take a look at Obortion O in the WhiteHouse.

Yes. They are two distinct things that can be examined independent of each other but that are deeply linked to one another. They both change slowly over time and their changes often move in tandem.

.....what about the Pledge of Allegiance? One Nation Under God.

Thank you for proving my point. The Pledge of Allegiance was written in the late 19th Century. It was originally much shorter than it is now and has changed several times over the years. The "under God" phrase wasn't part of the original Pledge. It was not inserted until the mid 50s.

I guess you are saying that because religion and culure are separate you might not have any values.....is that it?

You and I share a culture (Western Civilization). We do not share a religion. Are you saying that non-Christians who live in the West have no values?
