The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Apparently, "freedom" is having fundy Protestant dogma crammed down everyone's throat, by the government.

The twisted history Trump’s White House is using to redefine religious freedom

Yet a new draft report from a Trump administration task force presents a competing vision of America's tradition of religious liberty — one that argues that the founders wanted as much religion, everywhere, as possible — and that makes the case that our understanding of religious freedom has been corrupted by 20th-century European secularists and radical progressives aiming to eliminate religion from public life.

"The uniquely American approach to religious liberty," they argue, is one "in which religion is not merely indulged by the government, but rather honored as a natural right, fundamental to the flourishing of a free society."

In all, it calls for a plethora of policy and legal changes rooted in an alternative history that government should be welcoming religion into daily public life, not concerned with limiting or restricting it, even if it's in the name of religious pluralism. To deny this is to attack religious liberty.

Yup. I spent my formative years at a Baptist lodge, learning their sort of "freeedom".

Like a mighty army
moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
one in charity.
