Foolishness is trying to disregard a system that works and replace it with one of communism, oops, I mean socialism. Atheist and liberals are trying to push political correctness on us in the disguise of equality, when people are in fact different. The left forgets that it was the religious who brought us the civil rights movement and the early feminist movement. They want to do something to make it seem like the liberals are for the rights of minorities by forcing quotas on businesses and collages, which in turn stagnate free enterprise and actually keep the minorities downtrodden. All this just to scam some votes off their “victims”.

                Er, you mean the same "system that works" that is disregarded by pretty much every other single democratic western nation? All those other nations that have social democratic political systems?

                Yes, there were christians involved in the Civil Rights movement, and it's a good thing that they and their secular counterparts were able to overcome all the other christians who supported slavery, Jim Crow, and all the other aspects of racial discrimination. But christians were active in the early feminist movement????? Never heard that one. Can anyone explain what this dweeb is talking about?

                As far as I'm concerned, yes, Martin Luther King was a preacher, and many Catholics supported his ideas but they were and are accused of, guess what?, yes, communism, and guess why?, because they didn't bother aligning with atheists and agnostics who were much more compassionate than their religious zealots counterparts crying for segregation(in fact, very rare numbers of agnostic and atheists were in favour of segregation). Moreover, whereas it's true that some anti-feminist were agnostic(Schopenhauer), the eternal anti-feminist argument is that we're the daughters of Eve(and I'm not talking about Eva Braun). Or are you saying now that Schlaffly, Robertson and all who opposed ERA are now agnostic?
 
        
            
        
            
        
            
        
            
                
                And that is exactly why the people here in godless countries with a working healthcare and a far better social security system rate far happier than most of the world. The Netherlands were on third place if I remember correctly (unfortunatly I have no online source for this, it was a newspaper article about same study in an international magazine)
