about 'implicit secularism'

but how to get there when GOD & religion are seeping into our political institutions - contrary to what the 'separation of church & state' parts of our Constitution are supposed to guarantee.

I do not advocate denigrating or opposing religion. But religion MUST be kept out of government at all cost - this issue must be addressed explicitly.

The shiavo business showed to me that most americans by a big majority do not like somebody else's religious ideas forced on them. I think the democratic party needs to voice this concern.
