Courts should rely on reason not personal beliefs
Bob Topper argues that the idea of America as a Christian Nation is a myth grounded in Enlightenment secularism. He contends founders decoupled church and state, notes God in the Declaration refers to Nature's God, and criticizes evangelical efforts to overturn Roe v Wade. He cautions against using religion to shape law and stresses personal abortion decisions belong to women.
