Although I'm mildly impressed that he acknowledges that Paine was an athiest and Jefferson was a deist, the mention of 'wokeism'(whatever the hell that is) and transgenderism (are we not all a biological soup?). The obsession with binary anything is just weird.

But it's a really low bar to be impressed with any of these clowns if they can admit Jefferson (or Washing or Adams, for that matter) were not Christians.

Authoritarian government and conservative religion have always been natural allies. It is a symbiotic relationship that has resulted in untold misery for millions. No theocracy was ever a bastion of human rights and intellectual freedom. I do not need Ramaswamy to man-splain my country to me as it is quite obvious he wasn't a history major. It is never the job of our secular government to backstop anyone's religion, and this country does not face a single problem that has a religious solution. That said, getting religion involved in government is usually a pretty easy sell with the hard right, as they always seem to assume it will be their tribe calling the shots.
