Ronald Dworkin on Secular & Religious Models of Society (2006)

Americans should turn to universal principles, such as the concept of personal responsibility, to decide whether their society should follow a tolerant religious model or a tolerant secular model, said Jefferson Medal in Law recipient Ronald Dworkin at a lecture given in April of 2006. The talk was given at the University of Virginia School of Law.

So who's more true? The Lutherans, the Catholics, the Greek Orthodox, the Anglicans, or the Baptists?

That is just wrong to say Christianity is not a religion. Buddhists, Hindus, Moslems, and Shinto’s are religions that compete with Christianity. Each religion has its own set of truths. To think there is only one truth is arrogant. The only fair way to examine each religion is to stand back and take a tolerant secular approach to researching them, then choose the one that makes the most sense or meets most of the criteria that you select that defines a good religion.

It should read that from time to time each religion manufactures its "truths" to suit the beneficiaries. It wasn't so long ago that Mormons rejected dark skin people.
