For in the end, we remain “one nation, under God, indivisible.” And we can only achieve “liberty and justice for all” if we live by that one rule at the heart of every religion, including Islam—that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. Thank you all for being here, and I wish you a blessed Ramadan. And with that, let’s eat.

In the world according to 0b0z0, someone should of warned this family know how peaceful Islams really are... my heart pours out to these Christians.

Actually, “do unto others as we would have them do unto us” - which atheists also can quote - presupposes an underlying morality in which what is right and best is expressed. What Hitler judge was best for others in the 1930-40’s is certainly different than what than he now thinks in Hell.

The general Christian faith was once the “civil religion” of the US, and reflected in its laws, which is now increasingly reflecting a decidedly different ethos. And is reaping the effects thereof: http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/RevealingStatistics.html

As said, Article 52 of the constitution of the Soviet Union (1977) stated, “In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church,” which is not actually possible in the ideological sense, and which meant that atheistic ideology would be the functional replacement for the void left by religion.

ACLU (atheists compelled legislation union) types seek the same, supposing that is what the 1st Amendment means, even though for over 150 years afterwards this is not what it was understood to mean (nor a theocracy).
