re: #233 Inner Partisan

The trick is to realize that the problem isn’t belief, it’s fundamentalism.
Hell, I’m probably more to the left than most people around here (to the point where I’m not sure whether I should label myself as a Social Democrat or an honest-to-god Socialist), but few people infuriate me as much as dogmatic, virulently anti-american leftists - precisely because they’re, in a way, “on my side”.

Likewise: Just remind yourself that the current director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State is a Christian minister.

That organization was founded as “Protestants and Other Americans United for…” It was a Kennedy-era effort to assure tax dollars didn’t flow to Catholic parochial schools.
