The poll was not of the entire US or even of the Republican party. So that is not an accurate statement.

You must've responded to the wrong post because that has nothing to do with NK.

How many countries in Europe have Christian majorities as large or larger than the US? And yet they are all different in their cultures both from the US and from each other.


I find it just as hard to believe that having won so great a victory as establishing Christianity as the official religion of the US that they would fail to capitalise upon it, whatever form that victory took.

A. I think you're making the mistake of assuming Christianity is a homogenous concept, it is not. And there are many facets of culture, religion being one of those facets. That facet of American Culture, is largely Christian. I don't get why this is such a hard concept to understand.

B. No, they would capitalize on it, what I'm saying is they wouldn't net any gains off it.

It would reflect 57% of the poll voters

um, no not exactly...it would mean that public schools would have Bible learning compulsory, mandatory minimum attendance in churches and would directly and deliberately promote bias towards Christian groups in any office or position.

And as I pointed out, if the National Religion in question was Islam rather than some denomination of Christianity a whole lot of people would be screaming and running around like Godzilla decided to walk up onto Myrtle Beach.

The Islamic Litmus Test. You can measure the ethics of advancing a religious agenda by reading their reaction if it was Islam in the place of their favorite belief.

A: Actually, you would be the one making the mistake of assuming that christianity is a homogeneous concept with your declaration that the US is "culturally christian".
B: And you base this assumption on what?

"The only true religion"

You should go to Iraq or Pakistan and say the same thing down there.

God its like running in circles with you.

A. Not a mistake, the vast majority of America has always been some form of Christian, granted it's lower now than it's ever been, but even now it's still overwhelmingly Christian about 75%.

B. On the law, as has been reiterated going on double digits now.

Just because those who disagree with you will commit great violence against you, doesn't make you wrong.

57% of Republicans, which is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of people.

You're certainly helping make it that.

It's not even a fraction of Republicans, but rather people who voted in a Republican Primary.


What makes me laugh is the idea that wanting things that aren't necessarily constitutional is somehow unique to the Republican Party.
