The Left's Collapse

[Rockie Cantais]

Standard response from people who aren't capable or can't be bothered to actually discuss.

'roll eyes'

From the original constitution:
[N]o religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Cool.

Then the 1st amendment deals with preventing any national religion or treating a single religion differently. But the spirit of that has obviously been completely ignored, seeing as how USA is currently one of the most prominent Christian nations in the world. "One nation under God" "In God we trust" etc. shows how Christianity has become more involved in politics that it ever was supposed to.

The founders were Christian so its not hard to understand why it happened.

Googling around I could only find a single person who is an athetist and actually made it to congress. And he only recently admitted to not being a Christian. Benjamin Franklin & Thomas Jefferson were both vocal about their dislike for organized religion, so I can only guess that they would not have had any power if they were alive today. George Bush doesn't even consider Atheists real people: "Bush: No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God." For a nation that considers itself so progressive and a world leader, such statements are truly scary. Being unable to separate the church from the state is massive fail, fully on par with the middle east.

The Separation of Church and State is not in the Constitution its only implied and taught now. It was never the intention in my opinion.

Do you deny that atheists and non-christians are seen as untrustworthy and will have an incredibly hard time getting to any position of power in the US unless they actually pretend to be Christian?

Seems to be the truth.

Examples of debates that are infested by religious beliefs: stem cell research, abortion & teaching creationism as a legit "science" in schools.

Creationism is not taught in public schools in America, lol. It should be right alone with the other theories. You have the right to think what you want about faith. To have faith or not to have faith its a choice. 80% of all Americans believe in God, that can be broken down into the different faiths but regardless of what Mr. Obama said America is a mostly Christian Nation.
