From Wiki:
So do i believe in the principles he's outlined? I suppose so, if this is the extent of it. This is another thing we need to define...In his book, Rousseau outlines the simple dogmas of the civil religion:
1. life to come,
2. the reward of virtue and the punishment of vice, and
3. the exclusion of religious intolerance.
I know i'm annoying, asking for definitions, and what it means, but the problem is that we can't argue about anything until we're all arguing about the same thing. I can sit here and say "the sky is violet" where my definition of violet is the same as your definition of blue. But until we each know how the other defines their position, we're going to go in circles.
