But getting abortion banned isn't the no. 1 political issue with the majority of Americans.

How utterly absurd. The apple was food not a drug. The politician is a hero. He is bravely trying to expose police corruption as well.

Marijuana was being used before the Bible was even created.

But as far as America goes, we are FAR from a religious country. Especially Christianity. I wouldn't insult Jesus with such talk.
Do you honestly believe that religion isn't one of the largest factors in politics in America? We aren't as religious of a country as Iran, but our political system is absolutely motivated extremely strongly by religion (and yes, I am counting atheists/agnostics who vote for a certain party because it isn't the 'christian' party as votes based on religion)

In choosing a politician, yes. In actual policy, no.



Example. Wall Street corruption. How can we be a Christian nation (we are majority Christian) if we're dominated by greed??


Most of our laws are based on shared morals and values and tradition. That tradition was influenced by religion, but religion and morals and values can be interchanged.



It's illegal to murder in every country. Steal in every country. Etc.

Sad cause? You mean something that's been used medicinally, therapeutically and spiritually for thousands of years?

If you're a picture of fine health and don't know what sick is, I'm sure that's easy to say.
