Indeed, this is how the choice is perceived.  I believe the true choice is
between the political system that benefits men the most  --  a system based
on individual liberty and property rights, and one that benefits them much
less  --  a system based on the primacy of society over individuals within
and without that society.

What does the god stuff have to do with this, anyway?  It only clouds the
issue.
