Thank you for Alex Epstein's comments on the "religious right" (”The religious right’s culture,” July 12). His intelligence and honesty are qualities that seem to be sorely lacking in the media of late. The incredibly regressive thinking that characterizes the religious right, not to mention the Executive Branch, et.al., of our federal government, is a frightening destructive influence within our society, and undercuts the very basis of our Democracy. Mr. Epstein's sanity on these issues is refreshing and welcome.
