The problem is that it downgrades the influence of religion on society as it was viewed by the Framers of the Constitution. The Framers viewed the influence of religion and morality as essentials to liberty. Where we are now is, we are fighting to keep the first amendment religious freedom as something merely tolerated at best, punished and even outlawed at worst. Our rights no longer come from God. They come for the SCOTUS.
So true, so true. However, I fear that the best we can hope for at this stage, with this culture, is incremental ‘wins’ (that still feel like losing).
