Government agencies and the Democrat party keep insisting that we must remove religion from the public square. They will (mistakenly) claim that the Constitution calls for a separation of church and state, though as most of you know, the founders were against an official state religion but had no quarrel with religion being practiced and intertwined in government activities and institutions. But religious antagonists, atheists, and leftists have been busily erasing the influence and visibility of traditional religion from almost every public venue imaginable, which they claim is an effort to avoid offending the tender sensibilities of non-believers. It is, in fact, an effort to replace one higher power with another, God for government, and it is working. Many traditional religious mores and standards such as marriage and honesty are slipping away, and surveys indeed show that younger people growing up simply don’t include religion as part of their lives.
However, something odd is happening, and it is hard to explain. While leftists and government bureaucrats decry the “limitations” that religion supposedly imposes on people, and rail against the “control” imposed by religious leaders over adherents, there is a movement afoot to invite and protect a new religious movement in the public square and to give it special protections and support, even if it violates some of our basic freedoms such as free speech. This, even while that particular religion seeks to impose controls and requirements over American citizens that would not even be remotely considered if it were suggested by one of our more traditional religious institutions.
Government supported religion in the U.S., page 2:
Why does 0.6% of our total population get all these priveledges and the rest of the population has to relinquish theirs?
WHY CAN’T THEY AT LEAST TRY TO ASSIMILATE IF THEY WANT TO LIVE HERE???
Muslims need their own schools, but of course they would not be able to sneak their beliefs into our schools. They all need to be deported.
Yeah well don’t attack my child period.
Nuts
You forgot the lgbt. Your analysis is not complete.
Then every religion needs to be accorded the same tenet.
Sneak? It’s happening so where are the parents protest? Exactly.
You’ve never read history? Religion is not always peaceful. That’s a lala, perspective.
