I'd agree.

But nowhere is there the expectation that everyone become either Christian or Jewish.

No, that's not part of the deal.

I think the problem is one of labeling. We link our culture of freedom and hard work to traditional Judeo-Christian values. One could argue that many faiths including Islam have those tenets but it quickly becomes unworkable to say "Judeo-Christian-Muslim-Taoist=Hindi-etc" so we just say "Judeo-Christian".

Nowhere in the list that I wrote does it say Convert to this or that...except for the notion of converting to being a good American: A hard worker afforded the opportunities that hard work and good citizenship under the best structure for individual liberties ever conceived can give you.
