Nonsense. A republican form of government can co-exist easily with religious tests for holding office. Furthermore, freedom of religion can also co-exist easily with religious tests for holding office. The Constitution of a Christian state can and should protect the rights of minority religions.
No, they can not coexist, not unless we get rid of our real religious freedom and replace it with wink wink nudge nudge religious freedom
ARTICLE 124. In order to ensure to citizens freedom of conscience, the church in the U.S.S.R. is separated from the state, and the school from the church. Freedom of religious worship and freedom of antireligious propaganda is recognized for all citizens.
Yeah you read that right, the U.S.S.R. That may have started off as real freedom of religion back in 1936 when it was written but it pretty quickly became nudge nudge wink wink freedom of religion, the let's have it but pretend we don't kind
Dancing as fast as you can 'eh? Think about the title of this thread and then look at your words and your " not gonna talk about religion schtick" and how ridiculous you appear.
The thread is ABOUT religion , and it's incessant need to control what others do. It's about the basic ****freedoms**** afforded and assigned to *every* man by the Constitution , *N O W H E R E* in said document , the Bill of Rights or the Declaration does it say **** ONLY FOR CHRISTIANS****...............
If it states that then bring forth an example.
How come you aren't attacking the person who derailed this thread - tluv? You don't like what I have to say when I follow the path a thread is going - so you want to paint me as the bad guy? Your dishonesty is transparent. This thread is about atheists not being allowed to hold office in some U.S. states - tluv brought the Bible into it and I played along - go trash tluv if you have a problem with the thread being derailed.
All religions worship a deity(s) they believe is the one true "God" which is a faith based decision which does not make it factual just their decision.
I like Vanilla Ice Cream. Someone else likes Chocolate. My "one true" Ice Cream is Vanilla. Theirs is Chocolate. Get it?
