Here's How The Founding Fathers Ensured America Would Not Be A Christian Nation

Guess the OP is still upset the Republicans own Christmas, Easter, morals...lol





John 19:30 "It is finished"

The past, the present, the future


We will always be a Christian nation


.

Kinda lost that with Trump. He is literally a President who only began to have a religion when he decided he would run on the Republican ticket. He made a claim that he attended a church and the church had to correct him that he was not an active member of their congregation.

Now we have the first President to be part of a heretical movement branching off of Christianity with non-biblical beliefs, the first President unable to say the apostles creed because of his religious beliefs, the first President unable to come up with even a single biblical verse that he likes, the first President to admit he doesn't "bring God into the picture" or ever asked God for forgiveness.

Morals as well. It's why I've been proud of being a Republican in the past. Now it's serial cheaters, draft dodging, tax evasion, bashing POW's for political points, paying off porn stars, bashing Gold Star families for political points, not paying people for their work and threatening lawsuits, non-stop lying about basic facts, grabbing women by the pussy, accusations of sexual assault, nazi sympathizers, etc that we have to justify as "moral"...
 
By the time the last state (Massachusetts) disestablished in 1833, a phrase had arisen to represent the distinctly American pattern of church-state relations: separation of church and state.3

Separation of church and state has been part of the nation’s legal and cultural nomenclature since the early 1800s. Judges, politicians, educators, and even religious leaders have embraced church-state separation as central to church-state relations and a cornerstone of American democracy. The Supreme Court first employed the term “separation of church and state” in 1879 as shorthand for the meaning of the First Amendment’s religion clauses, stating “it may be accepted almost as an authoritative declaration of the scope and effect of the amendment.

Heh, time either heals all such misconceptions or dies tryin' ;)
 
The founders did not want doctrinal differences to wreak civic havoc of the kind then evident throughout Europe. That is why they left not only Jesus but indeed any deity out of the Constitution. That the American population was and is overwhelmingly Christian is a fact. That makes it all the more remarkable that the founders did not establish a Christian government.

The ungodliness of the Constitution kept popping up in public discourse throughout the nineteenth century, most notably when a powerful group of Protestant ministers came to Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War and demanded that he support an amendment to declare Jesus Christ, not “We the People,” the source of all governmental power. Lincoln, a canny politician who knew when not to take on another battle in the middle of a bloody civil war, declined to take any action and instead went along with a move to placate the ministers by putting “In God We Trust” on a two-penny coin in 1864. Lincoln presumably viewed the inscription of trust in a deity on a coin as an innocuous action calculated to avoid the trouble that would surely be generated by a Christian amendment to the Constitution. Little did he know that nearly 150 years in the future, right-wing politicians would employ that slogan to attack the much older motto E Pluribus Unum.

Here is how the Founding Fathers ensured America would not be a Christian nation

And just so we are clear. E. Pluribus Unum is our national motto. NOT In God We Trust.

And yet today you leftwing regressive idiots welcome Islamists and are willing to accept Sharia Law.
Accept Sharia law?? Where do you get that idiotic crap from ?

From you regressive faggots that defend Islam and promote more Muslim immigration. You all howled like banshees when President Trump implemented his partial Muslim country ban.
Cut the bigoted horseshit right now. You made the moronic claim that we accept Sharia law, with not evidence to back it up. Who wants sharia law? Name names. And don't just toss out the names of the Muslim members of congress. Document what they have said and done that indicates that they support Sharia law over the constitution. Meanwhile, I can name a whole lot of Christians who believe that the bible should trump the Constitution. And yes, I can give examples .

"Cut the bigoted horseshit right now."

Did someone die and make you king?
 
The 1st Amendment to the Constitution ensured religious freedom for everyone. It wasn't until a former KKK member appointed to the Supreme Court by FDR found a concept of "separation of church and state" that didn't appear in the Constitution that the democrat party's war on Christian beliefs started.
The first amendment prohibits Congress from establishing or endorsing one religion over another

Indeed it does but folks like you have twisted it to mean "freedom FROM religion".

... what defines a state religion where everyone is forced to believe in atheism. It's difficult to explain atheists that the belief in atheism is also "only" a belief, a rebound (religion) into the not-existence of god.

Sorry - was a spontanous remark. Not my theme here.
