But what Ruth Ann misses is that even if the US is largely a Christian nation, what maybe makes the US different from other countries that have dominant religions or ideologies (like Iran, North Korea and Communist China) is that the US wants to be tolerant of other beliefs, or even of no belief at all. Maybe, just maybe, that idea of tolerance came from the teachings in the gospels, and the Founding Fathers were smart enough to embrace the idea (even if Ruth Ann ain't).EdHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109361235271107574noreply@blogger.com
