Americans Still Believe in God

About 19 in 20 Americans believe in God, with 80% saying they are "convinced", according to a Gallup poll. Folks like the "brights" are convinced that the trend is in their direction; I doubt it.

God exists, and nearly all of us know it. Why, then, is so much attention paid to the views of people who don't accept the near-consensus? It's one thing to treat the minority view with respect and to make allowances, quite another to let one person in twenty set the boundaries for society.

The Constitution does not require that we pay attention to the opinions of a minority, McDuff. It requires that we refrain from trampling on their rights.
