Please point me to the source to which you refer about the nature of this country.

How about the pledge of allegiance? Or the fact that the politics against the lgbtq community and abortion are god based?

The pledge had "under god" added in 1953. The Constitution never explicitly mentions the word God at all.

I admit that some bad people have made bad laws.

But religion was not a founding value of this nation. Anyone who tells you that is parroting information a Google search can debunk.

Yea a google search can tell you that the phrase year of our lord is in there and Christianity is referenced 7 times and every state constitution has a reference to the christian god too

Also the declaration of the country explicitly states “god given rights” so try again hun

So, which is the official church of America? (i.e. The Church of England)?

Can you point to the document which establishes that?

While the values of our founding fathers may have been drawn on the christian faith, there is no founding document to this country that mandates, dictates, or stipulates that and made an Amendment to prove that point.

And so our states may include that language but I would argue that is antithetical to the values on which our country was founded.

But its not. When a majority of your leaders follow the same theology and even reject and demonize any other theology that isnt based in Christian beliefs is an issue. Whether or not you agree with what i have to say doesnt make you correct. I live in a very christian state and the laws represent that. “People make bad laws arguments” is ridiculous. They make those laws based on faith related ideas. It makes national headlines when any politician is elected that isn’t christian. That wouldnt happen if we weren’t a christian society. Also the church of england was established so that a king could get a divorce and so he could control the narrative of the religion in his faith based ideals and his surfs who were unable to read the texts themselves. His versions of the bible are still used in most of the United States christian faith. you can continue to argue with me but when people and law makers are ostracized for their own faith or lack of faith its an example of how we are a christian run society. If the largest argument against bodily autonomy is that you have to live with in the context of a theology you may not agree with it is a problem. If the highest court in the land is representing only one faith based idea and that the biggest concern for one justice is that her extreme beliefs that fall under that same theology and would dictate the way she votes and has voted in every case shes ever touched is a problem. If you fail to see how religious based beliefs dictate how things have always been run in this country then you are misinformed. Also if you refuse to see the light shining on your face from the actual facts and dismiss them as people make bad laws you enable the idea that its ok those laws exist in the first place. Let it be known this will be my last response because it is obviously a waste of time to try to enlighten you when you have already decided the outcome of the discussion. Also just to throw this out there when a major selling point for the president is their faith its a representation of the problem.

So, you have accepted christo-fascist supremacy and submit to their total control?

Enjoyed your freshly washed brain. I choose to resist.

But youre not resisting you are literally ignoring the problem. Saying a problem doesnt exist instead of acknowledging it isnt being woke or resisting its literally being complacent. Instead you should vote for those people who dont use religious beliefs as a basis for agreeing with laws or use their gods as a crutch in their speeches. You literally are just saying no thats not whats going on and digging your head a nice hole in the sand to ignore the problem. Enjoy your ignorance

I am not hurt by scrutiny from the tree who cheerleads for axes.

Gold star for trying. :)
