The real question is this. If one does not believe in God or the Constitution, what does one believe in? It is clear from far too much corroboration that the liberal elite do not believe in God. They have publicly ridiculed the Constitution as a dated document written by dead white males. So what do they believe in? What is left?

In rejecting God and the Constitution, Democrats reject the writings of men like John Locke. They reject the carefully constructed edifice of law and rights that emanated from Western civilization. They reject the chain of thought and introspection ranging from the Code of Hammurabi to the Bill of Rights.

What is left?

1. They oppose Christianity because they see themselves, aligned with the Islamists, who also hate Christianity.

2. They are now starting with the Jews because of Palestine, and Syria, and..

3. God is something you identify with, so they attack it. Attack attack attack...

4. A Republic is a tool for weak, white, males. In this sense, Stalin and Hitler, and their followers and admirers are in dead, agreement. Call this an homage to Chuck Darwin. Socialism Darwinism wasn't merely a belief of the old 19th century capitalists. Only the strong survive, and with these assholes, they may be correct?

This is a version of the Peterson-Sam Harris divide on religion.

Peterson goes on at length in various vids about the meanings of Christian stories and how they tie to our psychology. Several authors have noted that Europe developed under Catholicism and then both that and various other Christian belief systems.

We had several "pre-enlightenment" enlightenments over those medieval centuries that crawled along before the big, famous Enlightenment and the very-soon-to-follow Scottish Enlightenment appeared.

Stripping the underlying bulwark of faith and almost innumerable supporting phrases and habits and traditions away from the top thin layer of the most sophisticated thoughts - and then thinking that since very intelligent writers and speakers can spin out into the heights of philosophizing, now detached from the underlying religious belief system - why, hey! We can all dispense with religion!

That smart feller from those earlier days is today rep'd by Sam Harris. Freshly born into this new era, Sam is our version of the smart feller urging that we dispense with that "old, long disregarded desert thunder god in the sky."

A firmly argued counterpoint is given by Peterson.

From this 2015 Pew study, the US was then still a smidge over 7 out of 10 as some kind of Christian. Our old, originally and still socially dominant mix of Protestants is melting away like a candle made of cheap wax -

US Christians overall are now solidifying and silo-ing according to race. This is graphed toward the bottom of the page.

Its also on this separate page-

We have done similarly and as has Europe in teaching the most cutting edge PC theories to our youth. Happily, we have not done so as thoroughly as they have. If we had, then perhaps...

More of us than just most Dems and about half of the Repub elite would be naively thinking that our "new Muslim friends" were a "gift of diversity."

Heck with that!

I vote instead to "gimme that old time religion!"

Not Mohammeds' version. Our version! It was good enough for Gram and Gramps - its good enough fer me!
