No it doesn't. It refers to all of governement where religion has no place. | but does that really apply to political parties or political surveys? not especially. |
What religious folks often fail to realize is that the separation of church and state ensures their freedom of religion. | i'm religious and i'm all for separation of church and state. i think nebraskaboy is too. it's not all "religious fok," obviously some of us get that. i think you're right though, too often religious people try to bypass the separation of church and state, with good intentions of course, but bypass it nonetheless in their strive for the salvation of souls. | Exactly.
The people who are the problem are the ones that don't even realize that the concept of a soul itself is up to debate. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. |
