Actually if you read the official report Bush stated several reasons for invading Iraq and none of them had to do with God told him
That doesn't prove he never said it.
and the 4000 people who died didn't lose their rights. They lost their lives
Exactly. Which is worse? Rights don't matter a whole lot if you're dead.
which is different than losing one's ability to practice the religion that they want to and that was never under threat under George W. Bush's presidency.
Who is arguing that it was? I said that the threat people feel from an overly religious president is that they'll try to legislate their religious values and morals into law.
When you are dead your rights are not "executable" but was a law passed surpressing their ability to practice their religion like "thou shall be born-again christian"?
People might have felt that way but that is the point of my thread because why would you think that the president's beliefs have the ability to shape our nation when no law was ever passed.
Laws that are actually passed are the subject not a president's beliefs because the critics of W's religious expressions focused on who he was and what he believed and never any law that was passed by the federal congress.
