..Unless it's the lives of brown people in the Middle East
I would trust a conservative Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist to make fair and moral decisions much more than I would a liberal secularist/atheist.
Are we discussing USA politics or politics in general? Because Middle Eastern people do not have the same rights as US citizens within the territory of the United States. If we are discussing politics in general, then there are a fantastic number of secular liberal socialist countries where your dreams of an amoral goverment have already come true.
That's subjective.
Also, please for the love of Keith, answer my question:
So how does religion apply to anything except social issues that shouldn't be in the hands of government to being with?
Please give me an example of decision that needs to be made on moral basis that isn't a social issue.
Also, with regards to a secular socialist form of government....I thought that would be the Christian ideal, you know, helping the poor and disadvantaged, everyone pooling their resources for the common good of society, rather than capitalism where everyone is in it for themselves. Oh wait.....I thought liberals were immoral and selfish.........
Don't you realize that you are in fact a hypocrit and you don't live by the teachings of Christ? Your brand of Christianity is a perversion of his teachings.
