One problem I have with many liberals is they feel that because you can't prove religion, as you stated, you should not teach anything that is based on religion. The premier example of this is Intelligent Design. The premise of Intelligent Design is that the universe, and the life in it, was created by an intelligent being. For many people, that being is who they call God. The concept of Intelligent Design does not establish any particular religion, though it acknowledges a supreme being.
On the other hand, "science" has given us the theory of Evolution. Like Intelligent Design, Evolution also cannot be proven. Yet, these same liberals that don't want Intelligent Design taught in our schools are in favor of teaching Evolution, another unproven theory.
Can you explain to me why these liberals permit this hypocrisy?
I believe it is much better to vote based on logic and reasoning. That goes to the liberals by far. I dont see why anyone would base their political beliefs from a religion.
There are literally millions of Democrats / liberals (and conservatives of course) who are very religious - and vote based, in part, on their religious beliefs. It is human nature to vote for someone who shares your core values.

Sure, you can teach things based on religion. Just not on my dime and not to my children.

Many years of scientific observation and vast amounts of scientific data support the theory of evolution, but there is no scientific basis for intelligent design. The theory of evolution meets the standard for a scientific theory -- intelligent design does not. Intelligent design is merely a hypothesis -- one which lacks objective evidence necessary to make it a theory. Evolution is a theory in a scientific sense; intelligent design is a theory in a colloquial sense -- which means that one must be uneducated in basic science in order to take intelligent design seriously.

It's not hypocrisy -- it's rationality. Most religious people realize that religion cannot and should not be made to compete with science.

That has been said 1000s of times. I know and I think it is stupid to vote based on religion. Simple as that.

But how is it possible not to if your religion is an extremely important part of who you are?
Think about it.
