YOU are indeed wrong, so i posted this to prove it:

i'm dumbfounded that you're not getting it.
How do you quantify a Judeo-Christian society? Is the only criteria that 76.5% self-identify as Christian? How many of those people are practicing Christians? Are these people in exclusive control of all culture in America? What percentage of our national leadership identifies as a practicing Christian? Do these people insist upon injecting thier Christianity into legislation, and if so, is that Christian-derived legislation the predominant law?
By the way, is abortion legal in this country? Would you say that a Christian society allows abortions to be legally performed?
Yeah. I'd say that Tobra's statement was a gross oversimplification. You, however, aren't really interested in policy debate. You're more interested in dumping on me than discussing ideas.
