Answer the question: is there ever rational discrimination? If there is, it would not be an impediment to accepting public money, whether they do, in fact, or not.....

I have no idea where you got your animus against religion, but no one is proposing a theocracy, and your spluttering is very overblown. Also, although I have tried to explain my point of view to you in the past, you never seem to get it. I do not even belong to a church; I am not a Christian, much less a fundamentalist; I am a philosophical theist, about as far as one can get from wanting to fight to impose minor theological points without actually being an agnostic or atheist. Whenever anything having to do with religion comes up, you seem to lose all judgment.........

Why don't we just be done with it and institute a theocracy? That would make us just like the Islamists and maybe we could understand them better. Of course, you and all the other religious types can then have unending civil wars over minor theological points that the poor dolt doing the dying will never begin to comprehend.

That's coming no doubt.
