america. ask the scholar in a "washington post" essay in 2014. the question was not a lament, just a sincere inquiry with a far reaching observation. the question arose from the simple fact that the religious demographics from the united states and more the religious sensibilities of many americans have undergone profound shifts in the last two decades. modest increases and a marked rise in religious disaffiliation,specially among the wrong are transforming realities of life and therefore american politics as well. they had one out of three of those under 30. the percentage has droped from 95% in 1960 to 75% today. this is the break down that kevin talked to us about earlier. i should add that these two phenomenon, the decline in christianity and the rise in the unaffiliated are two sides of the two demographic points. almost the entirety of the religiously unaffiliated are white and they won from the views fully sdroibed from w the religion and politics is over. what did happen to america and what is taking place and what light can be shed? they

one of the problems with the jurisprudence of post-civil war america is nobody has a conception of really what a war crime is. when he is put on trial, they want to put him on trial for murder, and the charge is you have to prove that wirz himself murdered prisoners of war. i think there is fairly strong evidence he did shoot prisoners of war. there is strong evidence he may have simply killed or ordered the summary execution of people for no good reason at all, but what the trial really is is the beginnings of the concept of war crimes and the concepts of crimes against humanity and the idea that some people can be tried not for what they did in the direct sense of killing people, but rather for their leadership, for their crimes of omission as leaders, and their crimes of commission in creating circumstances that lead to the deaths of thousands of people who needlessly died. to apply the standards of the wirz trial at nuremberg or after world war ii, one would imagine you would have to prove that the nazis tried at nuremberg, we would have to prove that they personally put somebody in t
