Agree with this. Also 'committed to individual liberty' as well.

Sorry for my random question(and like always also sorry about my english), but do you guys think the USA would be a much diffrent country if religions wouldn't be allowed in politics?

I think ive heard in some movie once that only a christian can win the american elections (nowdays), because there are so many believers.
But how much power/influence does religions (or christianity in this case) have in american politics?


Here in germany we have the CDU (Christian Democartic Union; also Merkels Party). And sometimes there are political topics where you can see that they are christians (in a good and bad way). But overall the influence of religions in politics is here very low.

But in other europen countrys like Poland, Ungarn, Spain, Portugal and Italy its still very strong I think.
And in northen europe/Skandinavia more people belive in Odin then in Jesus I belive.

Maybe its also very diffrent in every state in the USA?
Which is the most religious state in the USA in your opinion?

Utah is the only state in America that doesn’t need to be carpet bombed so we can start over without obesity or melanin, and that’s solely because of the Mormons. America needs more jesus, not less. Fire and brimstone, treadmills, and calorie counting

Hope this helps

You can't seperate religion from politics in reality. Religion is what people believe, and you can't really enforce "don't bring your beliefs into politics."

All you can really do, is create a cultural atmosphere that disapproves of theological logic in public policy debates...

Bush kind of did this by accident. He effectively lost a generation of potential Christians by trying to legislate his religious beliefs (to a mild extent).*

All we could do at this point to reduce religions impact on policy is somehow make people less religious. Like convincing Christians that for every cake they refuse to bake, their brand gets less popular.

* this works both ways BTW. If you try to enforce state atheism like Lenin and Stalin, there is a just a massive backlash eventually. Another example is Christians vs Catholics in Ireland. Ireland got even more Catholic after English conversion efforts.

I would agree if mandated fatherhood at gunpoint were in place. You’re putting a disproportionate burden on women

Haha cool yeah

Woah woah woah, guy... You can't bring up uncomfortable truths like that.

Also keep in mind that Christians (and many other religions) thrive off any sense of victimhood or martyrdom. They are the original social justice warriors.

I can

Half of my lineage or more were alcoholics.

I don't get drunk. That's how dad SHOULD have done it.

Make America great again!

Hmm well some of us take relief in knowing that HEARING what you heard would have been the time to DO something about it instead of just hiding and hoping someone else does.
