The Chicago Council on Foreign Relations says the US has been slow to respond in areas of the globe where religion plays a role, creating a “god gap” that hurts national security.
The recommendations: more training about religion for foreign service officers, better understanding with local religious groups, and a better explanation of US policy on religious freedom.
For the godless, there’s not much on offer.
Where is the criticism of organized religion, currently responsible for many of the world’s wars and all of the world’s terrorism?
Where is the support for the separation of church and state?
Where is the support for the victims of religion?
Guess that’s too sensitive for our future diplomats.
