[b]Most Republicans Support Declaring the United States a Christian Nation[/b]

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/09/21/most-republicans-support-declaring-the-united-states-a-christian-nation-00057736

From the article

[i]Christian nationalism, a belief that the United States was founded as a white, Christian nation and that there is no separation between church and state, is gaining steam on the right.

Most Republicans [b]Say Christian Nationalism Is Unconstitutional — But Still Support It[/b][/i]

Hopefully that will explain fully to the "why do you care?" crowd.[/quote]

It doesn't have to be "declared," OP. Anyone with any sense of history (you, perhaps?) knows that America was founded as on Judeo-Christian principles.[/quote]

No, this is untrue.  Evidence was presented earlier.

Please name those values and explain how they are uniquely judeo christian?  No one will answer that, because you can't.  But I would love you to try.[/quote]

DP. There’s “render unto Caesar what is due Caesar and unto God what is due God.” (Matthew 22:15-22, Mark 12:14-17 and Luke 20:29-26). That is, the separation of church and state that you and I both want to see, and which this whole thread is about, is a very Christian principle. Some religions (Islam in particular) don’t separate the two. [/quote]

You know that secularism existed for centuries before the birth of Christ, right?  So, fail. See: Ancient Greece for starters.

Doesn’t make them any less Christian principles. And in both Greece and Rome the state funded temples. Your point?

Do you ever get tired of your “fight me” approach and generally being a pugnacious jerk? No wonder nobody wants to engage with you, but then of course you declare victory based on the lack of responses … because nobody wants to engage with pugnacious jerks. Hmmm, maybe a different approach would net you more real discussion. That is, if you were genuinely interested in discussion, which you’re not. Bye.[/quote]
