Politics has replaced religion in many people's lives. Religion was useful in that it allowed people to be tribal in a largely theoretical domain. Sure, there were always elements of theocracy, but in the US at least these weakened as a place became more diverse.
Politics, on the other hand, is very powerful in the here and now. And now it's infused with religious fervor. Yuck!
We need religion to make a comeback so that people put their negative energies there. Jehovah, Allah, Buddha, Gaia, Sinatra... I don't care who you worship.
I just want the zealots out of public affairs.
Politics is the new religion. It is the largest growing and has replaced all others. Where have you been?

A large part of the problem is that the religious are still messing around in our politics, and making policy that serves their lord and master for the whole country.
Serious question, why aren't you guys in favor of secession/separation? And if you are, can you explain?

It will happen eventually anyhow. The younger generation is a lot less religious, and a lot more secular. The older religious crowd will die off and a new secular crowd will take over. Things change.
We need the political "religion" of MARXISM to DIE OFF!!!

People have it too easy these days. Too many people out there not doing anything but being a keyboard warrior and looking for ways to be offended. Next big fiscal crisis should clean out a lot of the nonsense and bloat. When people are losing jobs and the keyboard warriors are worried about what gender pronouns are being used.......
With both parties run by their respective crazies, this will not happen in the 2 party system. The 2 parties spend a fair amount of effort making sure they keep their stranglehold on the US.
The problem isn't with religion itself. The problem is that a certain segment has misused religion as a political weapon which, ironically, ends up being doing a disservice to both religion and politics.
So how would this look? People could only live in place based on their political beliefs so that one state would be 100% liberal and one would be 100% conservative? I'm just trying to understand what this proposal would look like.
Guess us centrists would have to live on a bridge!
