Don't assume that having faith and believe in God requires to attend church every Sunday.
I don't see any evidence of the gospel teachings of Jesus Christ in your posts.

Uganda is a barbaric cesspool? Hardly. Except for a few pockets in the far north with leftover LRA and the usual crime you get a big city like Kampala, it is very safe. I felt safer living in Uganda than in towns and cities in the US. FYI Idi Amin has been gone for well over 30 years.

Religious views of Adolf Hitler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia as a source?

Anyone could edit anything on Wikipedia...

Hitler was born and baptized as Catholic, but later rejected his faith and became a militant atheist.
He did all evil things in the name of atheism, just like other atheist leaders.

Any country that violates human rights and thinks killing gays is a good idea, is a barbaric cesspool. Sorry, I consider every nation in Africa to be a disgusting cesspool. Africa leads the world in human rights violations.

Then I guess you'd better not visit Africa.

To the OP.... I give you the best example yet of why we should not have a state religion, most assuredly Christianity. "Keep your mouths shut and never argue with us..."
Respect is a road best traveled both ways.

There are 109 citations on the bottom of that article. Take a look.

Hitler was not an atheist.

Quote:
"We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out."

What would the U.S. be if Christianity was an official religion?

Salem of the late 17th century.

Exactly.

Anyway, how can christianity be an official religion? Church of England (Anglican) is the state religion in the UK (which only means the monarch must be CoE), but there are catholics, presbyterians, a few baptists, etc etc. So how can something so general as christianity be an official religion?

But Anglicanism is an official religion of the UK. The head of the British state, the Queens, is also the head of the Anglican church.
Is Great Britain such a terible, intollerant place? I take UK over any truly atheist country such as North Korea or Vetnam.
