Bernie Sanders and the new religious litmus test for public service

Here, and closer to home at Patheos here.   If he’s saying Christians with traditional beliefs about salvation need not apply for government posts, then yes we have a problem. The Atlantic has its take on the incident.   The ACLU and CAIR jumping on the bandwagon  doesn’t make it any better.

This also includes, by the way, that little sleight of hand that says our country is open to everything except racism and bigotry, and out of dumb, blind luck, anything that runs afoul of my particular understanding of religion is racism and bigotry.   If this is where our modern understanding of tolerance and diversity is going, we might want to do a double take.
