[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Lol. Does this new secular religion pay taxes or does it operate tax-free like churches? Where is it based, where and when do rituals take place, who are its priests and pastors?  Does it get any federal holidays off?[/quote]

I invite you to sit in at any state university lecture given by a conservative author or pundit. Watch and see what happens.[/quote]

You are nothing but a hypocrite. Is there any church in the country that would invite an atheist to speak freely on Sunday? There is no one single dogma or canon that is available to the exclusion of all others at any public university. How would you know what reception conservative speakers have faced unless they were invited to speak in the first place?[/quote]
