She wants her faith back

Jennifer Barnett Reed, a self-proclaimed card-carrying liberal, says in the Arkansas Times "I want my faith back". She says she's "starting to take the right wing’s hijacking of my religion very, very personally.".

One of the many things she asks is: "Why are all the fights over posting religious language in government buildings — and, most recently, having it embroidered down the front of your judge’s robes — about the Ten Commandments? How come no one’s ever gone to court over posting the Beatitudes? If the U.S. should be a “Christian” nation as reflected in our government’s official actions, why don’t we start with legislating “Love your neighbor as yourself”?
