I should have known not to expect a rational, informed response from someone who irresponsibly uses the term “theocracy.” Your grasp of history, of which you claim to be an avid student, doesn’t rise above the level of the average government school student who has read a few books from the Howard Zinn school of historiography.
Someone more intellectually sophisticated would recognize that everyone has a “religion”; that is, a worldview with a metaphysics. You don’t occupy some privileged conceptual space. Rather, you just haven’t reached the level of self-awareness of Moliere’s bourgeois gentleman, who was astonished to discover that he had been speaking prose all of his life.
LOL!! Your post is bull.
