Thread Name: BS: American Secularist Tradition
Subject: RE: BS: American Secularist Tradition
I always watch NOW with Bill Moyers. It's one of the few sources in the media of stories that an informed electorate needs to know if they are actually going to be informed. In fact, I videotape the programs, because this is the easiest way I know of to "take notes." Last night's show was excellent, and I'm glad someone started a thread on it because much of it is worthy of serious discussion. Unfortunately, I have a busy weekend ahead, so I won't be able to jump in with both feet until Monday.

In the meantime, I took particular note of Susan Jacoby's comment that in America, religion has always been safe from the government, but now especially, the government is not safe from religion.

I just put a hold on Freethinkers at my local library (I'm 20 of 20, so it may be a bit).

I'll be back Monday.
