[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The chaplain of the United States Senate opens each session of the United States Senate with a prayer, and provides and coordinates religious programs and pastoral care support for senators, their staffs, and their families.

Why is this ok but a poster of the 10 commandments not?[/quote]

Why is the school honoring the religious teaching of the Christian children and not also honoring the teachings of the Buddist and Hindu and Muslim and Sikh children?  And all the other religions in the class.    All those families also pay taxes.[/quote]

Why have all of our presidents proudly told us they are Christian?

Almost all U.S. presidents, including Joe Biden, have been Christian. Biden is only the second Catholic president (after John F. Kennedy), while the vast majority of others have been Protestant – most often Episcopalian or Presbyterian. Two of the most famous presidents, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, had no formal religious affiliation. Most presidents have been sworn in with a Bible, and they traditionally seal their oath of office with the phrase “so help me God.” Roughly half of Americans feel it is either very (20%) or somewhat (32%) important for a president to have strong religious beliefs (even if they are different from their own), according to a survey conducted in February 2020.

Congress has always been overwhelmingly Christian, and roughly nine-in-ten representatives (88%) in the current Congress – including 99% of Republicans and 78% of Democrats – identify as Christian, according to a January 2021 analysis. Congress is both more heavily Protestant than the U.S. population overall (55% vs. 40%) and more heavily Catholic (30% vs. 21%).

They want to get elected.   [color=red]More voters are Christian in this country than are of other religions.[/color]

The difference is presidents that try to impose their religious views on the country versus presidents that respect the principal of separation of church and state.[/quote]

So Christians are the majority of Americans. Case closed. [/quote]

Yikes.    You might want to to back to school a little yourself.[/quote]
