Actions seem to be beaten by belief or even worse, by non-belief.
There is not enough rational theism in the way that Washington Adams Jefferson Madison Franklin Paine Ethan Allen and thousands more came together in one place at one time dedicated to the protection of mankind’s highest value - the liberty of conscience { see post nf.22.10.03

Rational Theism took hold in 1776 and its revolution was highly successful. But it lasted only as long as the founding generation that conceived it and lived it. { see post nf.22.10.03

The brightest light of secular rational humankind was eclipsed by irrational theism when
commercial people began marketing irrational theism as the way to victory for good to win over evil.
In other words the God of the desert people devoured Natures’s God whom Jefferson referred to in the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson’s Rational Theism started to pass away on Cane Ridge.in Kentucky in 1801. By the end of the Civil War rational theism was dead. { see post nf.22.10.03

See the following thread if you have intellectual curiosity about such things
America Founded as a Christian Nation
Search this thread using “Cane Ridge” or “NFBW” for all relevant posts about the death of rational theism and the birth of commercialized irrational theism under the superstition of original sin and relief through the purchase of knowledge of the only godly being who can save us from it, { see post nf.22.10.03

nf.22.10.03 #537 And from the most populated new state and former colony of New York (my favorite)
Article XXXVIII. And whereas we are required, by the benevolent principles of the rational liberty,not only to expel civil tyranny, but also to guard against that spiritual oppression and intolerance wherewith the bigotry and ambition of weak and wicked priests and princes have scourged mankind, this convention doth further, in the name and by the authority of the good people of this state, ordain, determine, and desire, that the free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship, without discrimination or preference, shall be forever hereafter be allowed, within this state, to all mankind: PROVIDED That the liberty of conscience, hereby granted, shall not be so construed as to excuse acts of licentiousness, or justify practices inconsistent with the peace or safety of this state. New York Constitution 1777 END2210030725
The “REVIVAL” at Csne Ridge Kentucky is why Some States want to force full term gestation on women as a rebuke of liberty of conscience which is evil if you like to use that word.
