They believe we are immoral. He elegantly expressed the deep concerns of the faithful and defended our right to believe. Calif. Krauthammer's views are nonsense. No matter whether you are a religious believer or not, somebody somewhere will criticize your position. Citing a few random examples of those who attack people who have deep religious convictions doesn't prove Krauthammer's point.
Most politicians claim to be Christian.
In sermons and on television, ministers blast the nonreligious. Despite my longstanding admiration for Krauthammer, I think he's wrong to berate those who wish to exclude religious beliefs from the world of social and political discourse. Instead of being a form of religious intolerance or trivialization, such exclusion is a means of secular self-protection from dogmatic, fundamentalist principles in rational discussion and argument. Religious belief is the privilege of the individual believer and not a sanction for social legislation. America has always maintained the separation of state and religion.
