| 113. We are all much safer |

when no belief system is given greater credibility or legitimacy than another. It's part of the purpose of separation of church and state as well as freedom from religion. I wish more people belonging to faiths that they wish were more a part of the public sphere (public prayer, informing public policy, affecting curriculum, "Merry Christmas" vs. "Happy Holidays" etc.) could see that they are compromising the integrity of their own faith by insisting that their version of their faith be the one that is used in those ways above all others. I wish they could see that their belief in g_d or jesus or whatever is no more legitimate and real than any other person's belief system, whether it's animism, Buddhism, Wicca, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
