I have lived in US for over 25 years and I'm still amazed how an open society with so much emphasis on individualism has been able to so systematically incorporate religious conservative ideas into her soul and soil. How could dogmatic ideas be compatible with open society's inherent secularism. How can anyone in US can rationalize legislating religious principles? The US conservative platform is of most strange mix match of ideas. All you have to do view it from outside.

The open society by definition has rejected organized religion as a glue to bond its members. The funny thing is that lots of highly educated and knowlegable folks believe that religion by that I mean only Christianity has all the answers. They see this religion as vanguard of the western civilization.....What a bunch of horse shit!!! The guardian of our civilization is our common Human experience and can not be reduced into a simple stupid geographical location.

These losers with such ideas will be extinct in a very short time. The only thing have going for them is they play with common folks fears. That is why the heartland of America is so fearful of new ideas, they have been bombarded with fear mongering by religious politicians and wacky mainstream Christian TAKING HEADS.

Solution - Grass root (not the kind you smoke) attack on their core supporters. Enlightening the people about how true separation of organized faith and politics is doable. Gradually change the way churches are structured to instill fear in people and instead give them hope in accepting change.
