education and intelligence added to people realizing that they will not want the judgements they place on others be placed on them.
The united states is NOT a christian nation. It is now because we have bush in office and he does not understand the meaning of a simple statement like 'seperation of church and state'. Our founding fathers were not christians and religious dominance of any religion is discrimination of the others and not much different from what is present in the middle east. For a civilized nation, we are very primitive in our thinking

If humanism had truly acheived that status things would be quite differnt than they are now.
Don't kid yourself...The big "3" religions from the middle east still hold an iron fist over this country.

Some say we have evolved as humans. Why not see religion as part of this evolution. Is it not true we are not what we were?

Intelligence and evolution of society.
A culture is judged by how it treats its weakest, its minorities and its arts.
Humanism fulfills these requirements; religion does not.
Objections to humanism, though it follows many of the concepts of "love thy neighbor", stem from religious fears of losing control over people.
In a truly free nation, religion plays no role in government.

The Church did and is "doing" it's Job.
Jesus never Told us to "Take Over the World".
The Church will Fail in it's Efforts to do this, cause we Never Were Suppose to do it.
Just Preach the GOSPELL----they'll be Alot Of People in Heaven because of
"The Church" (Body of Christ).
Now, do you know why we wouldn't be Able to Take Over the World?
I will Tell You----FREEWILL
And, that is the Answer to your Question up above too.
