As the Pew report makes clear, our country is changing. When it comes to religion, we’re more diverse than ever. While far-right fundamentalists who are convinced that only their narrow version of faith is 'true' may tremble at this news, the rest of us should celebrate it.

Beliefs matter. They are the soul-garments that keep us warm in life’s cold winds. They are our guides on life’s twisting trails. They are the hands that unify a community. They are our conscience. It is necessary, then, for us to have the freedom to seek and choose our beliefs, religious and non-religious.

Even as President Donald Trump pursues construction of a border wall, he, in cahoots with his Religious Right allies, is hard at work tearing down the church-state wall. His actions could not be more misguided.
