At least, not to be good. Or so most of them think.
Americans took God out of public schools. And universities, mostly. And, over the years, government. And social issues. And holiday references. And there even have been attempts to banish God, or belief in Him, from business, including in the fight over abortion funding in Obamacare.
So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that a new Pew Research poll found 56 percent of Americans say it’s not necessary to believe in God to be moral and have good values.
That’s up from the 49 percent who expressed that view in 2011.
“This increase reflects the continued growth in the share of the population that has no religious affiliation, but it also is the result of changing attitudes among those who do identify with a religion, including white evangelical Protestants,” Pew said.
After answering the poll question and confirming “her” opinion that “she” did not need God to be moral, the transgender “woman” posted lies on Facebook about a political opponent being a neo-Nazi homophobe, before prostituting “herself” to a gay man, and donating a small portion of the proceeds to Planned Parenthood in order to help murder unborn children.
Then “she” went to the Episcopalian “church” to worship “God the Mother”.
It must be all those “Judeo-Christian” values of which we hear so much about these days. Who needs God when you’ve got Judeo Christ? This should end well. In any event, as Christopher Hallpike amply demonstrates, those Americans are wrong.
