"I don't think the Founding Fathers (despite their wisdom) ever conceived of the possibility that this Nation Under God would ever grant so much authority to non-Christians. I personally wouldn't grant the non-Christian religions any protection or privilege under Federal law -- yup, that makes me a right-wing'er all right :-) " No that makes you a facist! So basically what you are saying is non-christians should pay taxes but yet recieve no representation or protection from the government?? I'll bet if you asked William Bradford, John Smith, Myles Standish et al, that would be exactly the type of government they fled from to create the colonies.

I'm sorry I've offended you :-( Not intentionally, I assure you. But please don't put words into my statement. I don't see myself as a fascist (dictatorial person). I simply said that I would not grant a "tax exempt status" to non-Christian religions based upon what I perceive was the original intent of our nation's founders. I said nothing of withholding federal representation or protection. Doubly-so where religion is a non-issue.
