Bingo. Reason alone gives you a very strong basis for morality, but only if your reasoning is sound.

Funny, I find myself wondering "Why is there so much Judeo-Christianphobia?"

Hi Craig,
I haven't really seen too many christian houses of worship being burned down lately.
Whereas I've seen a lot of folks pitchin a beach and actually burning down some islamic mosques.

Our houses of worship aren't being burnt down. It's our beliefs and values that have been "burned down" over the last 4 decades.
Concerning the mosques being destroyed, I am not aware of any Christian organization calling for, or approving of their destruction. I certainly don't, I prefer the live and let live approach.

I've not seen anything on mosques being burned down...anywhere...I do seem to recall a bad rash of churches being burned down in Alabama and Mississippi several years ago...both "black" churches and "white" churches...
Actually, our founding fathers did consider this.
In writing the first amendment, they intended both the prevention of creating a "national religion" but also the seperation of church in state. Thus preventing any particular church (religion) from taking control of our government and creating their own laws.
Basically, preventing our country from being much like some european countries that were covertly being run more by the pope than the actual heirchy.
