      21. Eisenhower: "Our government has no sense unless it is founded in a deeply felt religious faith, and I don't care what it is."

      22. Under Eisenhower you could be anything (except an atheist): a Unitarian, a reform Jew, a Catholic, a Mormon, etc.

      23. Eisnehower's civic religion of all-religion-is-good undergone lone collapse, first due to end of Cold War & now cultural wars.

      24. With culture wars, religious issues gained partisan salience, which meant increasingly defining other party (Dems) as Godless.

      25. Richard John Neuhaus was a crucial figure in this new hyper-partisan politicized religiosity, as I discuss here:http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books-and-media/book-reviews/richard-john-neuhaus-a-life-in-the-public-square-is-a-rewarding-biography-of-an-influential-thinker/article22989723/ …

      26. Neuhaus' attempt to recast Christianity to make it as close as possible to Republican agenda was offensive not just on political terms

      27. To straight-jacket any religious tradition into a partisan orthodoxy involves tremendous cheapening & simplifying. A loss.

      28. Cheapening & simplifying. Think of what we lose if we agree with Neuhaus or @EWErickson. More than just Obama.

      29. To jettison liberal Christianity is to jettison much of the black church, Unitarianism, Emerson, Dickens, Trollope, Emily Dickenson...

      31. Anyways, key take away is even for unbelievers, the great religious traditions are too rich to be conflated with crude tribal politics

          @HeerJeet To this unbeliever, it's all arguing over things that are not real. It's frustrating that this is even an issue in modern life.

          @HeerJeet Fine, but is this insight likely to persuade those within those tribal politics or beliefs? Pluralist position=outsider's perspx.
