The DNC has been at war with religion. Their interpretation of separation of church and state is to extract religion entirely from public view as opposed to the Founders goal of making sure that the state does not preach from the pulpit.
As a result, you cannot so much as talk about God in public schools, or even have the Ten Commandments in a court of law that is on display. What the Left has done is strip the religious culture that has formed the US and gave birth to the US, that was never a theocracy. Your charge that having the Ten Commandments displayed in a court room, for example, is a step towards theocracy is completely bogus and harmful.
And as society continues to deteriorates into a violent secular abyss of despair, you can blame Putin for it.
