Here’s a news bulletin: Not all Conservatives are Christian! Keep your religion in your politics if you choose and I’ll do the same if I choose, but we are idiots if we exclude those who are not Christian

Here's a news bulletin to you:

Our founders distinguished our form of government from the rest of the worlds by acknowledging that our Freedom and Rights are God given based on our Christian God, which means that our form of government is a Christian based form of government including Christian values and morals.

How do you atheists reconcile that? Hmmmmmmmmmm, CINO?

Michael Novak wrote a great book about the religous heritage of our founding. In its title he acknowledged that there were two wings to the flight of our creation: Simple Faith and Common Sense. TWO WINGS. Let’s not forget when stessing the first that the second was in full play then, as it should be now.

I’m not an atheist nor do I advocate the “wall of separation between Church and State” but I am educated and understand that we do not have a State Religion.

Limiting the label “conservative” solely to Christians is a bad, bad idea. Not to mention ridiculous. I think the Jewish FReepers around here would concur.
