Why the Judeo Christian tradition is critical for America

The key difference between America and the rest of the world when it was founded is that America declared that every human being, not just the rich, had inalienable rights granted by God which were not under the control of the government.

America couldn't be America if our rights were contingent on whatever group is in power supporting those rights.  If Obama could force Catholic nuns to cooperate in abortions or Trump could declare that illegals can be shot on sight because they have no rights we would no longer be living in America because what makes America America is the idea that everyone has certain rights which no political coalition can remove.

The whole Civil Rights movement was based on the belief that it didn't matter that the governments of Southern states held that Blacks didn't have certain rights that white people did; what mattered was that all people had the same basic rights.

Democrats are working hard to drive Christianity and Judaism out of the public square precisely because Democrats hate the idea that there is any constraint on their power over we the people.

Democrats demand that Christian's cooperate in abortions and support gay "weddings" while declaring that gay bakers don't have to bake cakes for Christians.

Democrats believe that they should have complete control over what rights people have and which people have which rights; for example very young people don't have the right to life according to Democrats.

That's why Democrats and the #FakeNews media are constantly attacking Christians; Christians stand for what the Founders stood for, that government's power is limited.

It's time to restore the Founders vision; they viewed religion as essential for America to work as a representative republic.

Given that only 3% of Americans are atheists there is a broad consensus that we all have rights which the government cannot take away from us.  It's time that we make that understood to the neofascists who want to rule we the people rather than represent us.
