"A lot of the Professors sentiments are indeed very widely accepted , but so is the American custom of allowing each of us to choose his own beleif.
A strong majority of Americans are Christian but a tiny minority wants to use force to produce a unanimous Christian nation.
It is very American to "live and let live " or in other terms to let everyone go to hell in his own way.
American Evangilism has to be a good example and ,or , persuaseive because we cannot make it law that anyone be Christian.
Contrasting this with the more old fashioned attitudes prevelent in the Muslim world is fair , where they are we have been , but religious freedom was an important part of the founding of this nation , can tolerance summon the strength that intolerance can?"
This is one of Christianity's strengths, e.g. allowing a diversity of beliefs. I fully endorse this approach. Isn't this a form of democracy?
