Religionists, usually theistic, proclaim that their god/s handed codes of decent behaviour to humanity; they often refer to a…See More

Doug Reardon replied to Hank's discussion 'Judeo-Christian = basically Christian?'"What I find interesting is that the very tactics our conservative politicians are using here (the good old USA) are being implemented in countries around the world."

Hey everyone. In Australia, much as in the UK and USA, our politicians (either because they're religious or because they're pandering, like our atheist PM is prone to do) are fond of claiming our democratic secular nation is founded upon "Judeo-Christian" values - not the Enlightenment values of exploration, discovery, rational enquiry or the rule of law that arose & dominated the late 18th century, nor the openly imperialist values of England that set in motion the colonisation of…See More
