where you have different people with different perspectives.

But you do have – I mean Christianity is the majority religion of the United States.

It is the religion that was extraordinary influential to our founding, to the constitutional principles.

Again, freedom of religion is itself not really a liberal concept.

It was originally derived –

from a Christian idea about free will and the dignity of the person.

I think part of that is that you accept that you're going to have exposure to different things.

And if a state legislator in a majority Christian state wants – it's not like they're

putting the Ten Commandments in front of these kids and saying, you have to read this and write it 500 times a day, they're exposing kids to something.

And I'm comfortable with kids being exposed to a lot of different things.

I think that's part of living in a society where there's a free exchange of ideas.

And what I worry about with Telerico's sort of perspective here is, again, I'm not saying that I don't want kids to be exposed to anything that is outside of the Christian canon.

Like, I actually want my kids exposed to things – I write about this in the book – that I think it's important to have a grounded enough faith that you can engage with a lot of different ideas and still ultimately sort of hold on to your Christian faith.

But –

Isn't part of just living in a pluralistic democracy that people are going to be exposed to different things?

And I would kind of put it on Telerico in a slightly different way, that for a long time in this country, there were actually Supreme Court rulings that said that you cannot pray in a school, even a student organization led by the students, or that you cannot put the Ten Commandments up, even a teacher who chose to do it in their own classroom.

And so I think you're always kind of trying to strike this balance given that we have the First Amendment in this country between allowing the practice of religious faith in public spaces and possibly forcing religion on other people.

I think you have to strike that balance the right way.

I guess I just say –

Is that if the Ten Commandments being in a classroom is the thing that you think is forcing religion on somebody, was he equally offended when the Ten Commandments were like quite literally prohibited from being listed?
