Sorry to disappoint, but the United States is primarily Christian.  That said, I don't understand why people like PP come to the Religion Forum to trash religion and religious people.

Sorry, I don't see how the above comment is "trashing" religion and religious people  and don't see how it matters that the US is primarily Christian.  The US is founded on Freedom of religion, welcoming all people of any religion of no religion.[/quote]

Oh, the far-right conservatives (radical libertarians, really) in charge of half the country and the Supreme Court right now don't believe that.

They think separation of church and state isn't real and the US is a Christian country that shouldn't have freedom of religion.

Am not kidding.

"Freedom Forum Institute" https://www.freedomforuminstitute.org/about/faq/the-first-amendment-says-nothing-about-separation-of-church-and-state-or-a-wall-of-separation-between-church-and-state-where-did-this-idea-come-from-is-it-really/

"In 2006, Michelle Bachmann warned a Christian group that public schools "are teaching children that there is separation of church and state, and I am here to tell you that is a myth."

"right-wing pinup, amateur historian David Barton, devotes his book Original Intent: The Courts, The Constitution, and Religion to the proposition that separation of church and state is "a relatively recent concept rather than ... a long-standing constitutional principle."

"Rush Limbaugh explained "She was incredulous that somebody was saying that the Constitution said there must be separation between church and state. Those words are not in the Constitution."

Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Barrett, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and John Roberts do not believe in separation of church and state.  It's not a coincidence that the court has so many hard-core Catholic extremists: the Fed Soc does not believe in separation of church and state.

In case it's not clear - this is a big big big problem.  Because the Founders desired nothing more than freedom from state influence in religion.  They'd witnessed two centuries of Catholic-Protestant wars.  If we don't fix our politics we are going to end up living in Franco's Spain - a Christian authoritarian nation.

100% agree huge problem. And ladies you need to start voting better, because they are coming for your jobs and your property, etc. Don't believe me? Mark my words, those old white Christian dudes want control period and will not stop til they get it. It's going to be ugly.[/quote]
