“To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought with money, and this is sincerity and integrity” D. A. Adams
The initial primary service of the New Social Contract is to provide an organizing point on the web for a significant improvement to our current political system. It is populist but not allied to any current political party. It is revolutionary in terms of refore but does not support violent action. It is a return to the ethics and morality of natural law.
All politics is based on some concept of morality and multiple religions establish the basis for differing concepts of morality. Wars and strife spring from efforts of opposing religions intent on imposing their concepts of morality. To avoid this, there is a precedent established by the Romans that is worth emulating. A base morality of natural law, devoid of cruelty, hatred, discrimination and oppression can serve for multicultural affairs.
In a multicultural nation and world, natural law is a less offensive and rational basis for law and politics. From our founding, the U.S. has always had a commonly understood "civic religion" of customs and duties that melded us as a people. Other than in the date the U.S. Constitution did not use religious words that might offend the multiple religions of our new nation and establishment of a "state religion" was prohibited in the Constitution. The way forward might well be "civic religion" based on inoffensive natural law as the base for evaluating issues and answers to those issues. We cannot create this international "civic religion" on one national religion.
