My answer to the leftists at The Atlantic is this. When leftists want to “drive religion from the public square,” they cannot then try to justify public policy on the basis of religion. Sorry, you tossed that tool out of your tool box a long time ago.
Friedersdorf of the Atlantic is a dabbler. From time to time he dabbles in religion and gets burned. It is recalled that he famously termed Obama the post-religion President to excuse the President’s attendance at a church that despised America. He can’t win this article’s argument with Christians because they are aware that the Obama refugee program for the Middle East was decidedly anti-Christian. And as for their program at the Mexican border, he had a devil’s compact with Protestant groups looking to cash in on the big bucks, and with the moribund Catholic Church that was dreadfully in need of fresh blood to fill its pews.
