... "creations made in god's image"... "the Church’s ability to speak prophetically to government."

All of that is complete and utter horseshit, in my considered opinion. Depraved and, in the long run, almost always dangerous to the dignity of the human being.

Can't they just agree to act like decent people, because that's what decent people do?

And if not, if they insist on their god-talk, is it really required of me to jump to my feet and shout "hallelujah" and "amen" right along with them? It's disgusting, truly repugnant, and yet some in that cabal would demand that I simply shut up and go along before they would consider me an ally.

No, coddling the religionists is not the answer. The true progressives among them will do what's right and fair because that's what progressives do. Those who won't -- those who insist on obeisance -- will stab us in the back the moment the mood strikes them, anyway.
