Happy Halloween—a “Christian cultural” holiday, so-called. As Americans; what do we believe, and why do we believe it…? Perhaps the better question is (as always): Who’s in charge; who decides…?

“I like to live in a culturally Christian country, even if I don’t believe a single word of Christian faith.”

— atheist, Richard Dawkins12

“[being] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”

— James 1:8 NASB95

“The populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated.”

— Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society (1952)
