I am a Republican leaning Independent, however this argument made by Dr. Leonard Peikoff of the Ayn Rand Institute changed my mind. It was a tough sell for me, especially with John McCain as a candidate (I am a native Arizonan). I have heard pro-Republican-vote arguments on the basis that it is less difficult to intellectually challenge the religious right as opposed to the socialist left. It appears to me that the Republican/conservative party is becoming ever more saturated by pro-religious groups. My concern is that if this is true, then a well entrenched religious-Republican party will be harder to remove than a socialist-Democrat one. (I prefer a secular, pro-business, small government political party.)

Any thoughts on this? ...
Yeah... I have a thought and that is that secularism is a farce...

In the absence of God, Human Rights is a concept without meaning.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no greater threat to his nation than the sancitified 'independent, moderate, centrist, secular progressive and sport, just reading what you've posted here that is precisely where I'd slot you.

But give me a chance to prove it...

Is there any chance that you're able to cite, say... one example, where religion is a threat to you?
