2a. If you are a conservative Christian, what are you afraid would happen to society if religion were completely removed from the sphere of government and public policy?
2b. If you are a secular humanist, what are you afraid would happen to society if religion were allowed to guide government and public policy?
3. What qualities do you think identify a "successful" society? (I think we probably have a lot in common here, we just disagree about the best way to achieve these aims.)

1. I am a Roman Catholic, and I would like to think of myself as not overly conservative. Hell I might even be considered a Liberal because I am not opposed to gay rights.
2a. I am afraid of the moral decay that is prevelent in society. Things like Abortion and Eugenics (is that the right word). I am afraid of the moral vacuum that has sucked this country up since God (I don't care if its Jesus Allah or Buddah) has been removed. I'm not saying America's problems are due to its Godlessness, but it definently has played a role.
3. All members are treated equal, all people are entitled to their own beliefs. All people are properly represented. We need to get away from the "it's not my problem" mentality. fuck I just seriously want people to be more respectful and less apathetic (again is this the word I am thinking of?).
