   Having spent our first 200 years as a nation dominated by a single faith, America is now faced with the reality of what our founding tenant and prideful claim of “religious freedom” really means: each to his/her own faith in worship, in courtrooms, in practice. In the face of so many harsh and close-minded Christian Americans, we can only hope that the core value of our country, freedom of religion, will not, now that people feel their status quo threatened, go the way of our “personal freedoms” in the hands of self-serving conservatives. This too may be an inconvenient truth!

   Of course, people should take an oath on whatever is meaningful to them. The problem comes when it’s against someone’s religion to take an oath at all.
