I constructed a decision table because I like to analyze problems logically. You'll note that the the absense of faith or reason produces the two greatest threats to our republic: Marxism and extreme Islam.

		Belief in God
		Absent	Present
Reason	Absent	primitivism	extreme Islam
	Present	French Revolution, Marxism	USA as founded

Nice graph-—exactly what one of my professors once said.

There was only a little window of time that a nation like America could have been founded-—it was quite unique in all history: The Age of Reason and before the atheism of Voltaire became dominant.

It took both God and Reason to form America.....neither of the two can be eliminated because both are required for a Rule of Law-—Just Law. You need Objective Truth (absolutes) for Just Law that only come from God who embodies the “Most Just”.
