Thankful for FFRF and for "The Friendly Atheist" Hemant Mehta. Our non-religious voice, the NONE's, need to be recognized.

Conservative “unity” usually means “here's your invitation to capitulate to conservative demands”. It's a veiled threat, not well-intentioned bridge building.

Even if every single resident of London, KY shared his particular version of faith it would still be unconstitutional for the mayor to be promoting it as part of his official duties.

Think they ever include Hindu, Jewish, Wiccan, Muslim or Buddhist prayer?

If I knew for sure I was going to live after I croak, I mite care. Anyone who says they know what happens to you after you die, is either lieing or is a fool, or both.

@@user-uz5mv3ql8d Might, not mite. mite can be a tiny insect. Might means either strength or possibility of something. To "lie" or to be caught "lying". Lie is either to rest on a bed, or tell an untruth. Lying is the act of resting on a bed or telling an untruth. I needed to clarify things as your spelling is at primary school level.

The US. They ‘think’ they are the greatest country on this planet and yet cling to a 2000 year old world view. So contradictory.

Please remember there are still a lot of us who are not Christians, much less Nationalists. Some of us have more than half a brain, and good morals, both.

The Bible and the Constitution are totally contradictory. It takes a whole lot of cognitive dissonance to believe in both.

TREATY OF TRIPOLI by JOHN ADAMS 1796 Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion... A 2018 Supreme Court Ruling re-affirmed this statement, from The Treaty of Tripoli. The Supreme Court released an opinion on May 14, 2018 in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Assn., 584 U. S. (2018), Justice Thomas in his concurring opinion wrote: "The Treaty of Tripoli was passed by the Senate and signed into law by President John Adams. As such, it is a "legislated text" which must be read "textually". The lower courts in this case read a hypothetical legislative intention into the text by dismissing Article 11 as "a mere formality". The language itself makes a clear direct statement that our government is not based on the Christian religion and any attempt by a government official to represent our government as Christian contradicts the text and the historical understanding of our founders.”
