Why America needs God
 By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Saturday, April 15, 2017

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Atheists and progressives will tell you America is a secular nation, built on secular principles, and that it’s the job of the rising generations to make sure politics and religion never do meet.

They’re wrong.

They say that because they don’t want to submit to a higher authority. But just because the Founding Fathers didn’t want the government to establish a church — didn’t want the country to become guided by the same type of zealotry that steers nations of Islam, for instance — doesn’t mean they wanted God separated from governance.

“Human passions unbridled by morality and religion,” America’s second president, John Adams, said, “would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net.”

Quite right. Think about that a second — a whale through a net. Utter destruction, a complete tearing of the fabric.

Read the extract and stopped there, since there is a fatal flaw in her argument by the end of the third sentence.

Progressives and to a lesser extent atheists DO want to submit to a higher power. They call it government, not God.

Maybe, but I don't know if they say it. They may want to but they don't say it to repeat.  It is their own religion, secularism. I think the author is saying that.
