We have separation of church and state, and we all respect that. We cannot go and change the constitution and make Christianity as an official state religion. However, we are a democratic nation, and we believe that the majority should vote for if they want certain things or not, such as what I asked about this thread.

The government still favor us Christians in many ways over another religion anyway, so it's not a big deal.

As I said, slowly but surely. When I was a kid, no one would have questioned whether or not Christmas decorations should be allowed in public places, and there were nativity scenes on courthouse lawns.

That's mostly true, because atheists were more peaceful, tolerant, and quiet back then until the 60s when a crazy and evil lady found the "American Atheist" group, and sued and got rid if prayers from public schools.
Fortunately, she was kidnapped and murdered by another militant atheist

The main problem is with Christians in this country, it sometimes makes me wish they were more intolerant and fought for their faith and forced it more into the public like they do in Islamic nations. Christians are the majority everywhere, and run the country, yet they let the minorities get their way!

We'd have to a Christian nation for that to work and we're not.

Nothing like a Christian applauding murder.

Unbelievable post. What you suggest is a Christian Taliban. Too bad for you that a little thing like the US Constitution will always get in your way....

Christmas isn't even a Christian holiday it's just about spend spend spend blah blah blah. This is why Jews trump up Hannukah even though it's not even a major holiday in their religion.

That's what I said earlier and then many Jews in the forum got mad.

Do you know what Taliban is and stands for, and what they have done?

the UK, Norway, Brazil, etc. how do they treat their people being a Christian country?
