    In preface, I think everyone can believe in whatever they want. Religion is simply a habit of congregational reverence over some kind of object. There is nothing inherently wrong with this fact. However, being a staunch atheist myself, the continued antonymic assimilation of church-and-state within government is proliferating regressive politics. Personally stated, any Nat-C in government (i.e. MTG, Flynn) is a drivelling baboon that should be put on trial for willful ignorance. Unfounded opinion will continue to rend apart any pragmatic governance until all that’s left is Their One God. This dangerous downward slope needs to end for the benefit of humanity as a whole, as well as our planet.

        I’d hope no one would agree with my linked article, it was included specifically for it’s absurdity.

        What is going on today isn’t about secularism vs Christianity. This is about group hate […]

        While I don’t disagree with your sentiment, Christian denominations have played a historically definitive role in shaping the US’s government. Furthermore, a significant portion of US citizens want Christianity to influence government. A nice little cherry on top is that, since the Second Continental Congress in 1776, nearly every US president has opted to include the Christian bible and the phrase “so help me God” (both entirely optional) while being sworn into office.
