One Nation Under God?

8. The narrative on the right is simply BS. Rewritten history, a political / social agenda, etc.

All cobbled together under the guise of old Cold War anti-communist hysteria. Then fed by mega bucks and fear based PR talking points.

Most of my nieces and nephews could be counted in the "nones" demographic. They all state some form of humanist and spiritual outlook, unaligned with any established religion. Have ethical and moral standards they find important and uphold. And hold no grudge with religion per se. They seem to feel there's room for a range of outlook. Save for the extremists. Their take runs the gamut from besides the point, laughing derision and serious threat. All take the separation of church and state as a standard to be held.

Most interestingly for me, they also seem to clearly see themselves as the future. That these conflicts are of my generation and will in due course fade into history. (They are obviously the future, duh, the fade into history thing remains open, imo.)

Interesting article. Thanks for the post.
