My, My, My.

Certainly a radical-secularist-Baptist bunch of letter-writers in the Star-Telegram today!

The many documents that did influence our law say little about religion and nothing about the commandments. Further, the United States is not a Puritan theocracy; it is a constitutional republic in which all religions are protected and none is endorsed.

The First Amendment is not subject to the will of the majority; it protects the minority, the individual, even the atheist.

This doesn't mean that Christians cannot be "involved politically." To the contrary, separation of church and state allows all Americans to present their beliefs in the public square.

(Good to see strong, assertive Blue people out there in the Red States. As Dr. King put it, A man can't ride your back if it ain't bent.)
