Oh those "Formerly religous laws" are now just retained "as a matter of tradition". Its not a religous thing anymore. Like christians don't commit terrorist acts.

How am I back pedlling? There was imposition in history. But, you must understand, everyone was either Christian or Catholic in history so it was always a case of one denomination imposing their beliefs on another. Like Anglican vs. Puritan; later Puritan vs. Anglican; Puritan vs. Quaker. Those puritans are the most guilty because they believe that they are the one true church. They had a theocratic state in Zurich, Switzerland. All this to say, it was one denomination vs. another. And it's no longer a problem against anyone anyomore.
You're truly sad if you think that the blue laws impose beliefs on the rest of America. If you want to work on Sunday, get a second job. Most stores are open after 12:00. Yes, it's so everyone can go to church. That's not religious imposition; it's called religious freedom. You want freedom to do what you want on Sunday mornings, but deny it to people who want to go to church. If you don't see that the Blue Laws are tame, and provide no incovenience to anyone, except those who go to the trouble of making them inconvenient; that they were originally what provided everyone with the oppurtunity to go to church, therefore providing freedom to practice their religion, then I'm not going to try and make you see. I'm getting bored. THey are the result of Christian influence; but that's alright because so is the 1st amendment Christian influence.

Well it isn't religious anymore. I notice that you don't actually counter-point anything I said.
So a very few commit terror acts. At least that very few is noticeable, unlike in Islam where that Muslim minority sure gets around.
