He's telling you to drop the Christianity, abrogate your faith publicly, and to burn incense on the public altar of "humanism".
Stop being such an American! You're making the new neighbors nervous!
He’s saying no such thing. He’s simply saying that tying the Republican Party to one faith is not a very good strategy to win over people of other faiths or no faiths. I’m saying that as a self-identified Christian.
I don't read it that way at all. Goldberg is a Jew, and doesn't obviously take offense at the invocation of the name of Christ...he merely is speaking, seems to me, about the need to reach out to people of other faiths who share the same economic and social principles. I agree with him.
I just really don't care anymore about people for whom any mention of Christianity is taken as some kind of existential threat.
No other religion on this planet is expected to self-censor itself in public so thoroughly, and no other one does.
I don't want any more hot house flowers who wet their pants when they hear someone else's opinion; this country already has enough of them.
Is this the great "immigrant spirit" we're supposed to worship?
I agree with you, but I don't think that was Goldberg's POV. He isn't saying "Shut up Christians", he is saying "Republicans don't have to be Christians." And I think that is true.
