our troubles will be out of sight
OK and not OK
Being an atheist is ok.
Being an atheist and shaming religion and spirituality as silly or not real is not ok.
Being a Christian is ok.
Being a homophobic, misogynistic, racist, or otherwise hateful person in the name of Christianity

… Gay Poet Richard Blanco Reads His Inaugural Poem ‘One Today’
TEXT:
One Today
One sun rose on us today, kindled over our shores,
peeking over the Smokies, greeting the faces
of the Great Lakes, spreading a simple truth
across the Great Plains, then charging across the Rockies.
One light,
This is what you shall do
“This is what you shall do;
Love the earth and sun and the animals,
despise riches, give alms to every one that asks,
stand up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labor to others,
hate tyrants, argue
