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.

I will be Sooo glad when 2017 gets here.
What the h*ll am I reading on this post. FREEDOM OF RELIGION, I don’t agree with Islam, BUT you can’t let a very small fraction of radicals bitter your thoughts.
There isn’t a discrimination against Christians you idiot. I can read the bible and pray in school if I want. A teacher can’t because she or he represent the state. Ever heard of the separation of church and state ?
No stop this c**p
Hope and change!
KICK THEM IN THE C//T.
Yes sir you just give special privileges to everyone except American Christians. or Americans period
Cody, you’re calling me an idiot?? Anybody that truly studies the original amendments as they were written, would know that the amendment was written to keep the government out of the Churches business. It is the liberal politicians that have perverted the original writings, the same ones that are trying to change the Constitution. Be careful who you call an idiot. You just proved that you aren’t the expert you thought you were. By the way, I’m sorry you lost your sight. The majority of Americans (yes, majority) KNOW that Christians are discriminated against. You must be blind.
Screw them and they need to assimilate or get the heck out!
So great full we were able to get our kids out of public school. Thank you Lord.
