Liberals are insistent on the separation of church and state. This has been a staple of liberalism for as long as I’ve been aware of politics. And I’ve always thought that, as stated anyway, the liberals had it right: The government should neither embrace nor oppose religion, and for the most part let people practice their religion as they wish (if the practice involves e.g., human sacrifice, or torturing children to “expel the Devil,” that of course is a different matter.)
The problem, as has sometimes been the case with me until I wised up in my old age, is that I didn’t realize the Left never really meant it. Recently the FBI demonstrated that the government, or Biden’s government, anyway, has lots of interest in religion, and it’s not the Free Exercise kind. …
Anyone want to guess what the Left’s reaction would be if Trump’s FBI wanted to infiltrate a mosque to recruit sources about radical Islam’s plans? This is not to mention that, unlike Catholicism, radical Islam actually has plans, some of which have resulted in mass murder in the United States and around the world.
