This is a singular contradiction. And it appears more irresponsible when it is realized that we live in an era in which America is being called upon to take an increasingly active role in the affairs of peoples all over the world, and that an appreciation of religious history and current religious influences is a prerequisite to an understanding of many of the problems we must face...
