What I don't understand is how they can even begin to reconcile the BoR with Christian beliefs. It is completely antithetical to Christian values.
There is no such thing as right to free speech or freedom of association, and things like that, in Christianity.
In Christianity, people are not free to be atheists. People are not free to believe that Jesus was a homosexual if they choose to, nor can they express those beliefs. In Christianity, there is no other choice but to serve God, or you're ostracized from society.
The concept of civil rights and liberties are not a Christian creation, regardless of how they try to make it seem like they are.
That is why I believe America was meant to be a secular nation, a melting pot of cultures and beliefs.
