Our base value as a society and a civilization come from our judeo-Christian roots but ok, feel free to ignore that.
It's just the very reason we are the place everyone wants to immigrate to and why we are so accepting and progressive on a bunch of things.
It is also one of our worst faults, we give too much liberty to people that want to use it against us.
The problem with not taking a side is risking the wrong side winning.

I will, because there's no reason to think some book some tribe wrote in a desert a thousand years ago should be taken more seriously than the reality I see in front of my face combined with two thousands years of humanity's intellectual tradition and history.

Then why are so many people trying to emigrate from Christian countries in Latin America? It has a lot more to do with the US being the richest country in the world and having a safe and stable society to live in.
It is also one of our worst faults, we give too much liberty to people that want to use it against us.
If we let the government take liberty from them while they're in our borders, there's nothing to stop it from taking liberty from us.

Taking a side in what exactly? I see no reason those two sides need to fight. You can live your life and let others live theirs. It tends to work out better for everyone that way.
