having our country cast into war with our soldiers being told to "Win one for Jesus" or whatever.

I hope you can have patience with non-Christians who have to listen to the media interviewing people all the time who falsely assert "this is a Christian nation".

I am sorry that your cousin seems to have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed today, or maybe he was hitting the mimosas pretty hard before he emailed you. That wasn't polite or diplomatic. But neither is treating non-Christians as if they are not every bit as entitled to be here as are Christians. We all need to chill.

Personally, this atheist will be playing music Easter morning with a Lutheran congregation full of people I believe to be decent, caring folks. And while I don't share the beliefs in Jesus, the character with superpowers, I am happy to support others for whom Easter is a notable day. I have no problem with people who try to live according to the legendary values of Jesus, most of which I share. I have a huge problem with a great many people calling themselves Christians while acting opposite the supposed values of Jesus every day.

So there we are. We need to get along with our neighbors, even love them. Even your cousin.
