This video is doing the social media rounds over here and people are pissing themselves laughing. Those who arent laughing are cringing at such a scene. It looks like a new low in American political life.
Where was Elmer Gantry in all of this ?
Laughing leads to crying.
How many years before Muslims outnumber Brits in the UK?
Who cares ?
You might come to care. The only thing worse than living in a country full of religious extremists is to live in a country of religious extremists whose religion you don't follow.
Which is why Democrats object to evangelicals writing laws or influencing Republicans.
Or having any secular rights. It's not like it hasn't happened before.
Religion in the Soviet Union - Wikipedia
"...The vast majority of people in the Russian empire were, at the time of the revolution, religious believers, whereas the communists aimed to break the power of all religious institutions and eventually replace religious belief with atheism. "Science" was counterposed to "religious superstition" in the media and in academic writing. The main religions of pre-revolutionary Russia persisted throughout the entire Soviet period, but they were only tolerated within certain limits. Generally, this meant that believers were free to worship in private and in their respective religious buildings (churches, mosques, synagogues etc.), but public displays of religion outside of such designations were prohibited. In addition, religious institutions were not allowed to express their views in any type of mass media, and many religious buildings were demolished or used for other purposes. In the long run atheism failed to win many souls. Religion strengthened underground and was revived to help fight the Second World War. It flourished after the fall of Communism. As Paul Froese explains:
Atheists waged a 70-year war on religious belief in the Soviet Union. The Communist Party destroyed churches, mosques, and temples; it executed religious leaders; it flooded the schools and media with anti-religious propaganda; and it introduced a belief system called “scientific atheism,” complete with atheist rituals, proselytizers, and a promise of worldly salvation. But in the end, a majority of older Soviet citizens retained their religious beliefs and a crop of citizens too young to have experienced pre-Soviet times acquired religious beliefs.[10]..."
