We have all heard of these virtual talking points throughout our lives.
Thank you right wing, but your definitions do not serve or help any of the Americans I know



Some of our founding fathers hoped that secular patriotism would replace the power of religion in govement affairs and avoid the schizms created by Rome and Luther.
George Washington saw that this wasn't going to go as well he hoped.
It hasn't gone as well as I hoped. Even the attack on science by religion has changed little since the 17th centruy.
