It’s Time to Formally Declare America A Christian Nation 220207 {post•833}
Mashmont Sittfd: we're {America} currently going down the tubes.

a.
NotfooledbyW Feb’22 Vittfd: {When asked if} Christianity or the Nation is going down the tubes? I do not think the Nation is at all. •¥•.
American adults describing themselves as Christians - 65% in 2020 - 75% in 2015 81% in 2000 - 85% in 1990.

Mashmont Sittfd: Right now we are starting with a premise of atheism, which as we are finding out, is a disaster.

b.1
NotfooledbyW Feb’22 Vittfd: How did you determine {Saint
Mashmont } that the increased rejection of racial inequality and rejection of traditional Christian values concerning marriage, sexuality, and gender identity is the result of the founding fathers writing an atheist friendly Constitution. It is absurd when looking at the numbers:

NotfooledbyW Feb’22 Vittfd: American adults describing themselves as Christians - 65% in 2020 - 75% in 2015 - 81% in 2000 - 85% in 1990 PEW

c.
NotfooledbyW Feb’22 Vittfd: To accept
Mashmont ’s premise of atheist induced disaster it means America went from 17% church affiliated Christians in 1780 to 62% in 1980 over 200 years. American adults describing themselves as Christians in 1990 was 85%. That puts atheists agnostic and all other religions at 15%.

Mashmont Sittfd: the atheists would hijack that sentence to suit their own ends, and use it to destroy the country and the people in it. And that's exactly what is happening.

d.
NotfooledbyW Feb’22 Vittfd: Atheism is not the culprit.

Mashmont Sifftd: The dictionary definition of liberal describes the classical liberal which is the complete opposite of today's whacked-out leftist loon.
#81
e.
NotfooledbyW Feb’22 Vittfd: Looks like an insult is being thrown.
nfbw 220207 Vittfd00833
Mashmont Sifftd: It just means that since the position of a country MUST be a belief system, either by choice or default, it might as well be of the belief system which is best for all, which is Christianity.
#83
f.
NotfooledbyW Feb’22 Vittfd: Christianity is failing on its own to keep believers. Quit blaming something else. You can’t revise the Constitution to fix Christianity in the modern age.
Mashmont Sifftd: For individuals, yes. But government MUST represent some belief, whether by action or default. Right now they've chosen atheism by default. That is what needs to change.
#99
g.
NotfooledbyW Feb’22 Vittfd: The government should represent no spiritual belief or religious beyond its original design to be neutral.
nfbw 220207 Vittfd00833
Mashmont Sifftd: I contend that our government laws have moved toward representing the atheist belief.

h.
NotfooledbyW Feb’22 Vittfd: Absurd! It is neutral - same as from the beginning.

Mashmont Sifftd: Too bad Biden isn't a practicing Catholic.

i.
NotfooledbyW Feb’22 Vittfd: Biden is a practicing Catholic and a practicing American.

Mashmont Sifftd: Churches of all denominations would be allowed to have their services. Atheists would be free not to.
#229
j.
NotfooledbyW Feb’22 Vittfd: That is not a change. But Atheists may only watch state owned TV programming, only Christian propaganda telling Christian that “those atheists” will burn in hell because they do not love god like we do.,
nfbw 220207 Vittfd00833
Mashmont Sifftd: Do I fault them? Not unless they were atheist and intended this result. But they couldn't have foreseen atheist evil of the magnitude of the Communists or Nazi Germany
#231
k.
NotfooledbyW Feb’22 Vittfd: This is not the solution to a problem that does not exist: Christianity should be prioritized in public life, in laws, and in America's national identity. •¥•. I’m not a Christian. I was looking for a quote from you {Saint
Mashmont } referring to America as the greatest nation and experiment that mankind has ever seen on earth. All I could find from you {Saint
Mashmont } is America is an atheist run disaster going down the tubes.
