[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a descendant of two Mayflower passengers, I say keep your religion out of my government and stop trying to force your religion on me.

As another Mayflower descendant and Adams descendant, I say religion has much good to contribute. Not the ultra conservative religion, though.[/quote]

As a descendant of the Mayflower passenger believed to have written the Mayflower Compact, I just refer all to that compact.[/quote]

Which has zero relevance to the US today.

[b]We aren’t a Christian nation. [/b]

No religion in government.

Don’t force your religion on others.

We were in the beginning perhaps, with the Massachusetts Bay Colony - but not now. We're a secular nation now.  But the religious people keep pushing to make inroads on the separation between church and state, and with some of the recent Supreme Court decisions, they're succeeding.  I'm not even sure anymore where the definitive line between church and state is anymore. [/quote]
That was a colony, not a nation. The colonies of Maryland and Pennsylvania had founding documents which were very different with regard to religion.[/quote]

Such as?  We know Roger Williams broke off from Masachussets to form Rhode Island because he wanted separation of church and state - but he thought the state was encroaching too much on religion, not the other way around.  :lol: [/quote]
