Have you seen the modern media in the US? Civil, romantic debate? This ain't happening anytime soon in America, just yelling, calling each other names on TV

I would love a civil and respectful discourse with anyone and everyone. However in this age of partisan politics, red/blue states, god/godless people, etc.. Its very hard to get a seat at the table in the discussion, let alone the attitude against atheists in the US would put us just above muslim terrorists

I don't even believe the zeitgeist exists. Moral progress, without the proper institutional guards, does not exist on a universal human level, my friend.
That's your belief, many don't share it including me and your friend Hegel.
