As I said, I am not defending Christianity or any particular belief. Maybe even Creator is the wrong word. The Tao seems to fit. I am not sure. Maybe the movus non movus. If I could find the right terminology, perhaps I could make my point clearer. <the advantages of democracy, rule of law, and a grant of inalienable individual rights are evident regardless of religious belief? > I am not religious. I have beliefs. We all have beliefs, I believe. I believe in kharma. In other words, I believe there is an unseen arbiter of justice. Where or how I obtained these beliefs is not relevant. If someone thinks they can sin against humanity without retribution, then they most likely will. If a person is not sure if they can or can't, I would guess that tempting them to go along with their peers in a conspiracy against humanity would not be hard to do.
