Thread Name: BS: American Secularist Tradition
Subject: RE: BS: American Secularist Tradition
Chistians have their cherished myths and fables. Wiccans have theirs Fortunately, in America, we are still free to cultivate the myth of our choice and to look with critical disdain upon the fables of others.
But for how long? The Neocon/Religious Right movement is succeeding at using the US government to sustain Christianity's fables and myths to suppress the other religious mythologies (like the Muslim mythology) and others they don't like.
That is why it is so important for us to argue against the Christian strangulation of the American state as secularists who stand apart from the domineering Christian mainstream in the US.
