LOFTON / Re: Defamation of Religion

[RJLipkin at aol.com]

This certainly  trivializes the concept of "religion." A government that 
persecutes theists,  defames religion in general, and so forth is religious? I 
suppose  the argument is that such a government simply adopts the "wrong"  
religion.  I suppose similarly each individual is religious no matter  what that 
person's view is about the existence of God or the practice of  religion. Taking 
this route, however,  creates both conceptual and  practical confusion, but 
one is, of course, free to take it. To what  end?

ALL government is "religious." The only  question is: Which "religion" will a
