51. I absolutely do not think that religious people are the only
people who can be ethical or moral. Or that religious people always behave ethically or morally. Religious might play into the WHY of it, but not the WHAT, if that makes sense.

Many non-religious people do the right thing simply because it's the right thing -- how could anyone argue with that?

I fall on the side of works being far, far more important than any particular declaration of faith (or non-faith, if you will).

I agree with you, that it's all been sadly twisted and now wearing your RELIGIOUS sign is somehow connected to both one's moral quality and one's patriotism. It's perverse and hurts both religion and our country.

IMHO.
