“Some secular critics of Islam -- Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens come to mind -- explicitly argue that the real threat to freedom comes from the oppressive moralism of the entire Abrahamic tradition, Jewish, Christian and Muslim.” –Michael Gerson
Mr. Gerson, are you now to the point of appealing to Harris and Hitchens in order to support your arguments? What about the threat of anti-theism? Will you consider that the real assault on the Constitution is coming from the secularists?
Straw men indeed; how long will you lump together Jewish and Muslim tradition with New Covenant Christianity? What complaint do you have with Jesus Christ and the New Testament? Yes! You can find fault with the weak and imperfect people who follow Him, but tell us what fault is there in Jesus Christ and His doctrine?
Have the secularists come up with a better plan to govern that does not appeal to the authority of Natural Law and Nature’s God? No! but they undermine our Constitution at every turn. They have no authority other than themselves. The autonomous man is who we need fear, not the Bible believing Christians.
What revisionist histories are you reading? It may surprise you to know that liberty and rule of law originated in America under the influence of Biblical Christianity. Secularism is as authoritarian and lawless as Islam. It enables Islam because of their ungodly alliance against Western thought and culture.
