With due respect - I have to strongly disagree. The Bible - and religious beliefs, have everything do to with the "fabric" of this country.

And, hopefully you respect my freedom and belief to say it is, and I'll be polite, not factual. Which in a less polite way would be to say it's a fantasy. That's my belief as an American citizen.
