Dogma is the atheist's favorite word when condemning religion. The irony is atheism IS dogma.
What concerns me has nothing to do with anyone's specific religious beliefs. What concerns me is that without morals there is no freedom. This is a verifiable fact. Our second president said that "Our Constitution was written for a moral and religious people and wholly inadequate for any other". Why? Because the Constitution was created on the principle of maximizing freedom of the individual. If the individual has no morals then they tend to disobey laws. All law is founded on a moral principle and yes, you can and we do legislate morality all the time. It is immoral to steal, murder, lie (perjury), and do anything else that harms someone physically, mentally, financially or sexually. All of that is immoral.
The more people who cannot obey our laws or morals the more the government has to fill the role that the individual should perform for themselves. Governments, all governments, crave power. Governments look for ways to accumulate more power and when more people cannot obey the existing laws they will create more laws that takes freedom away from people who do obey the law.
Our government is extremely rare in that it bases itself on the premise that people are generally good and moral people. Therefore they do not need a strong government micromanaging them. Nearly every other government starts with the premise that people are bad and must be controlled.
Rome started with the premise that people were good but over time the people turned corrupt and so did the government. Eventually Roman leaders begin calling themselves gods. The government became far too top heavy, created far too many laws and taxed the people too much which caused it's collapse.
The United States is heading the exact same path. Only instead of gods, the left is heavily involving themselves with socialism. Socialism is an atheistic ideology who's stated goal is the elimination of all religion. The state is to be the supreme authority.
So in the early 20th century socialists, nazis, fascists and communists in America set out to put wedges between people and religion.
Socialism, nazism, fascism and communism are the antithesis of what this nation was founded on. They all put the government above man and not man above the government.
To save liberty and freedom we MUST restore our morality (self-governance).
