[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since when is religion a core American value?[/quote] Is this a serious question? I can’t tell. [/quote] DP I’d like to know why religion would be a core American value. And which religion?[/quote] Christianity. Read the Federalist papers.[/quote] The Constitution is my core value. Nothing in there establishes a national religion. Christianity has nothing to do with me and many Americans. [/quote] I agree that the founding was not particularly religious. But over the last 150 years the US has become far more religious than Europe and it has become a defining value of our country. [/quote] And now it’s significance is waning. So it’s returning to its roots. Things change. This is not a negative thing. [/quote] No it’s not. It’s just that a new “secular” religion has taken over. Complete with dogma, rituals, and cult-like thinking. [/quote]
