But you can't always have someone in power who shares the same values that you do. If you live in the US then the majority of your population is religious, so if you're not then I'm afraid that you just have to shut up and put up if religious people get elected. Nor would it be fair to compel someone to give up their values for your own when they're in power. This is democracy, it's a good thing.
'If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning, concerning matterof fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames: for it contains nothing but sophistry and illusion.'
'The heart of man is made to reconcile the most glaring contradictions.'
