One issue - inclusivity doesn't meaning championing one religion over
another. In fact, it's the opposite.
A politico-religious movement that calls itself pro-life, but then
reduces or eliminates benefits to children and parents that give that
life the best chances to succeed come off as hypocritical.
It's like we've all forgotten that a well-fed, healthy, educated
populace benefits the body politic - unless the goal is to create a
class-driven society with racial tension, crime and a populace that
doesn't think critically.
