>We have somehow managed to change from the "freedom of religion and to worship as you choose" to no religion in public period. It's like going back in time...

Tried that, but no go. The best time machine invented so far only counts it, doesn't push it. Sort of read only. Called a clock.

Frankly, when priests stop badmouthing the non-believers and stop pretending they have some kind of monopoly on morality, then I'll apply the golden rule again (and I don't mean physically).

p.s. they'll probably claim they invented the golden rule too
