The actual morals and ethics under discussion get lost. Too many folks will steer the discusion to keeping "God"out of it and completely ignore the moral and ethical questions at hand. They will actually fight against any moral or ethical stance that they perceive as being based upon "religion". Such is their distaste. They would sooner accept, or gloss over moral decay than concede to any point of view seen as "religious".

I am an agnostic (I seem to find faith everytime my anti-lock brakes kick in
), but I whole heartedly agree with Jeff. Religion is used as a convenient target for the ultra left. Any discussion of instilling values in our children is shouted down as an attack on their 'lifestyles'.
My faith is weak at best, my wife is a Hindu, but our child will be starting school this fall at a Catholic School (Villa Academy). We want out child to have values, we want her to learn service to others. We want her to have empathy for others. Of course we are putting her at great risk of believing in God, and thats just down right child abuse.
