Beware of preparing to fight the last war. In my opinion the majority worldview in the US is now some form of secularism and Christianity is now a minority religion. I don't see fascism in the USA, but I am am concerned about a tyranny of the majority ( the secularist majority).
And I am more concerned about the Christian majority. It is they and not secularists who threaten freedom of religion.
Again, I just seem to have a keen grasp of the obvious. It is my only virtue, perhaps. And it's also obvious (as demonstrated here) how many people cannot grasp the obvious.
