I would like to voice my fear that everyone saying the democrats have no religion
(an astonishingly similar charge put Socrates to death in Athens, 5th century B.C.
We translate it "irreligion"), puts the national debate closer to the assumption that
Christianity should be the state religion.
That is not the goal with which the puritans settled this land and it is certainly not the
rationale upon which our country was founded.
Dean is a Christian(Congregationalist, I think he said in an interview)who most definitely prays
regularly (although he doesn't attend church a lot). But he believe's every peron's religion is private,
perhaps especially, a politician's. He does not wear his faith on his sleeve.
Incidentally, he thinks most of the regulations for abortion should be decided by DOCTORS,
sate by state.
