There is no such thing.
Quote:There is little left of traditional Protestant Christianity in the US( see Joseph Bottum ) and the dominant voice is now from the faith of Secular Humanism. The 'religious right' has little clout and is now just a convenient scapegoat.
Except that they elected a president not too long ago, and have the House by the throat, and thus our nation shackled.
And every politician has to end their speech with "God Bless You, and God Bless the United States of America!"
And, they just got a candidate for vice-president nominated!
Quote:The Secular Humanists largely ignore the fact that they now operate as a faith or a religion.
I guess it would help if they had a pope or something to pin their faith and trust on. How about, Neil deGrasse Tyson! The planetarium is their cathedral, and PBS their pulpit.
Hey, don't the secularists claim that Jesus was black?

Just study the Bible.
I expect Clinton to win in Nov , followed by a series of Democrats for several decades. Religion has fundamentally changed in the US.
