There is an active gay life community in Israel. But I find it
interesting that very many religious Jews over there are as upset with
the U.S. Supreme Court ruling as Catholic Bishops in America. They think
that the very wording of the ruling on gay marriage does not reaffirm
the " free exercise of religion ". It seems that gay marriage-even civil
unions-are not around the corner in Israel ( unless the state goes
secular ? )
Not everybody " on the left " in America is blind to growing hostility to organized religion. And indeed the New Atheists do not hide their scorn for individual religious people.Read the Christopher Hitchen's cult classic: " God is not great.... how religion poisons everything ". The book is also very Islamophobic.
" In Ayn Rand We Trust " ? I suspect most of the crowd celebrating gay marriage are libertarians-and non believers in a Supreme Being ( not SELF ) .
