Theistic or not, who gets to pick which part of which religion to govern out country. Beware the American Fascists disguised in religious cloth. "Dominionist" they are called, and if our country were theirs to "rule," they would abolish all institutions and replace them with the church. The questions and FEARs are many: what church, why THAT church, what Bible, which parts of which Bible, and how is the chosen religion enforced?
Does the term "Christian" make them better than Islam? Is the enforcement of the "Christian Law" going to be better than Sharia Law?
The Christian Right want you to believe America was funded to be a Christian nation. It was not. In fact, our founders escaped England to SEPARATE CHURCH AND STATE!
With Mike Pense as our Vice President, it "Christian Law" close at hand?
Read "American Fascists, the Christian Right and the War on America" by Chris Hedges.
"Twenty-five years ago, when Pat Robertson and other radio and televangelists first spoke of the United States becoming a Christian nation that would build a global Christian empire, it was hard to take such hyperbolic rhetoric seriously. Today, such language no longer sounds like hyperbole but poses, instead, a very real threat to our freedom and our way of life. In American Fascists, Chris Hedges, veteran journalist and author of the National Book Award finalist War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, challenges the Christian Right's religious legitimacy and argues that at its core it is a mass movement fueled by unbridled nationalism and a hatred for the open society."
"Separation of church and state in the United States" see Wikipedia
"Separation of church and state" is a phrase used by Thomas Jefferson and others expressing an understanding of the intent and function of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States which reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."The phrase "separation of church and state" is generally traced to a January 1, 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson, addressed to the Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut, and published in a Massachusetts newspaper. Jefferson wrote,
“"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."[1]
”
Jefferson was echoing the language of the founder of the first Baptist church in America, Roger Williams who had written in 1644,
“"[A] hedge or wall of separation between the garden of the church and the wilderness of the world.""
