From 'Judeo-Christian' to 'Potluck Nation,' Eboo Patel pleads for religious pluralism
From the article:
Now he’s written a new book, “Out of Many Faiths: Religious Diversity and the American Promise” (Sept. 4), the third in a series of books by scholars addressing issues of diversity called “Our Compelling Interests.”
In it, he offers a passionate defense of American religious diversity as one of the seminal features of U.S. democracy, stretching back to the vision of the Founding Fathers, who he says got it “exactly right.” He also proposes a new narrative to replace the Judeo-Christian motto with “Potluck Nation,” which he thinks better describes today’s religious diversity.

What do you take from this, guillaumeb? What do you want us to take from it? You posted it, so you must think it has value. Tell us what you think that value is, please.
I read the interview. I was unable to see anything in it that is in any way different from any other ecumenical, "multi-faith" reasoning. I'd ask the North American First Peoples what they thought of the invasion of their place by Christians. I'd ask, but most of them are long dead and their genetic line is almost gone, thanks to that invasion. How did they benefit?
When religious intolerance is the problem, how does bringing religions together solve the problem? Answer me that.
So perhaps you'd best work on literacy before you move on to logic. Just sayin'
Meanwhile, once again....
Just because you assert something, doesn't make it so. I get that concept is difficult for you, but nonetheless bullshit has been called and your only answer is gibberish.
