What "Judeo-Christian" stuff? Our Constitution is entirely secular and appears to go out of its way to avoid mentioning God. It used "the year" rather than "the year of our lord" and does not mention God in the Preamble, in contrast to many state constitutions and the later Confederate Constitution.I think for "Judeo-Christian", read "Mainline Protestant" (we don't need to go into Reform Jews arguably being Protestants too). One's neighbor being of a different Protestant denomination is pretty much a prerequisite for a secular constitution of the U.S. sort. |
