We keep religion out of the workplace. It seems you want to bring it in. The most effective Christian rocket scientist I knew never brought it up unless you asked him. There are Hindu, Buddhists and Muslims as well as atheists and agnostics and nearly ever Christian sect, I suppose, where I work, and I do not expect them to bring their religious belief or lack thereof to work either. There is a post board for Bible meetings if you want to attend and that's as far as it goes.

Many left-leaning political circles (gay rights advocates, pro-abortion advocates, etc.) dissavow much of what the Bible says; show up with one around them and see how far you get. There are many others, but I think that illustrates what I meant.

I am not sure what your point here is. You want to use the Bible for some political use according to your reading of scripture and wonder why others who want the US governed by the Constitution don't listen to you?
