I understand the reference points that a society examines to achieve a consensus. I'm saying the Bible isn't pulled out in court other than to swear someone in... there are far too many people who are trying to use the Bible as the direct source for new laws or to uphold laws that I consider to be unconstitutional.
I have contempt for religion because of the zealotry that I have experienced personally and what history has shown to be true.
But I do not have contempt for the Sermon on the Mount. I think it is an amazing guidepost for me PERSONALLY.
