We founded a country on the basis of that our differences are what we as americans derive strength from. It says on the quarter in latin... Out of many, we are one...

I don't give a flying shit about what race, identity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, favorite animal, color,political party, sexual position, or ice cream flavor you happen to be...

What I care about is how you treat others. Your actions are what define you. So stop with the he said she said bs. Stop with democrats and republicans. Stop all the hate and bigotry.

The one thing that makes us the same as everyone else... Is that we are human. We can either grow and prosper together as a people. Or we can die in the desert alone...

We are a broken nation capable of so much. We hold so much potential... And we sit here day after day squabbling like dogs. Wake the fuq up. Read between the lines. Shut off the tv. And go outside and take a good luck at our problems.. If your going to judge others... You should take a good hard look at yourself first. Nuff' said.

Another substitute for religion is cosmology’s Big Bang model. Each has millions of words but lacks evidence.

i always read comments from the bottom up to see if a change in opinions is taking place. After reading a few here I’m hoping there’s no thought police force forming.

The First Amendment has not been repealed.

Bullshit just a excuse for racism

Nonsense. Religion requires worshiping an invisible deity.

This is not true with race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

Religions usually have sets of conclusions ( for example the 10 commandments) which they try to shame people into keeping faith constant. I do not think that "Identities, mainly race, gender and sexual orientation," are in any state to reach widespread conclusions yet .They are still recruiting supporters yet . They are still fishers of men(and women) to their causes which often clash.

No. Religion has myth based dogma. It stands alone.

How can something substitute bullshit?

Naaaah. I think food is for many, just look around. KFC, MacDonald, etc, etc.

If you see any evidence of your claim in the article you linked; you're reading comprehension skill is rather poor.

As far as race goes, we are the human race with different skin colors. Gender is what your born with, and sexual orientation is a choice.

Your opinion piece doesn't support your thesis and your thesis is just as false as it was when you posted it yesterday.

Race, gender, and sexual orientation are ALL matters that are NOT "choices".
Religion IS a choice.

That's one of the dumbest comments I've heard in a year of profoundly stupid comments.
I for one need no substitution for religion, that's the point the entire enterprise is unnecessary.
If LGBT people or minority people work toward better representation that in no way indicates they're substituting if for religion it just means they're busy. While white supremacist just count their hobby in as part of Christianity since Christianity is anything the person professing it says it is.

There are many things created that are dividing even more human beings on top of religion and politics, some were already mentioned. Some of them are complicating things unnecessarily. People...

I find it amazing. Before you put anything into religion I feel you would have to have a background in religion.

Not really, however there is a movement to turn identity politics in a cult if for no other reason than to shun and hate the heretic and the mis-believer.
The desire to Hate is always the real reason and motivation behind the preacher against "sin"
