Why not God?
What is the threat?
What is the danger?
We live in a world that is hungry, hungry for meaning, hungry for purpose, but society wants to take away the idea of God as something plausible to look at for answers to the questions of life and existence. Any expression in the public forum is trying to be removed – the Ten Commandments, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the like. Prayer or any Christian faith expression is being prevented from schools and it seems to me that the goal is to remove these expressions from all public forums. Imagine a place that it is dangerous to pray openly to God, where it could mean your life. Oh, well, 3 billion Chinese know this everyday. The dangers of secularism is that, though it doesn’t expressly state that religion needs to be removed from society, but when the push is to limit the freedom of expression and define acceptable and unacceptable where does it stop? God and Jesus Christ are becoming an offense and if we are not careful they may become equivalent to hate speech because they confront each and everyone with this horrible word, sin!

I think it has been very clear where the push for removal of religion stops. The push is for the separation of church and state, not the separation of church and individuals. The First Amendment supports the former, and protects you from the latter. But, I have said this before on our cooperative blog.
Anyway, my real reason for posting was to correct a statistic you have in your post. There are only 1.3 billion chinese.
Have a good weekend,
The 502
