My faith is very private to me. It plays an important part in my life but I do not try and throw my beliefs at others. I have tremendous respect for all faiths and beliefs but have a deep concern that religion and faith are currently a long way apart from each other.
Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief. A patriot shows their their patriotism through their actions by their choice.
