...you don't agree , yet you say this??? Sorry, sounds like you agree.

Quote:It is unfortunate that many fail to see that secular activism is not about tearing down religion but building wider acceptance of secularity. Not everyone agrees with Secular American views on religion, but too many don't recognize the value that flows from recognizing and respecting the viewpoints of the secular demographic. Groups like Cornwall benefit immensely from the general prejudice that the public has for Secular Americans, because with the secular perspective removed from the debate, the conservative biblical position escapes its most serious challenge. Of course, liberal religious groups can challenge the Cornwall position, and they do, but at that point the question becomes only one of whose interpretation of scripture is correct. Frankly, we are all at risk if the question of whether to protect the environment comes down to a debate over scriptural interpretation, because the Bible is at best ambiguous on the issue and certainly not based on science. Americans who care about the environment should be eager to legitimize the Secular American demographic, not because we all agree with the secular view on theology but because we all want the rational public policy that it demands.
