Well the founders opened session with prayer, which is still done I believe, sent bibles to the troops, etc..
Conservatives in Florida got their wish last Monday when their governor, Rick Scott signed a bill into law guaranteeing scientific facts taught in public schools can be challenged if they offend an individual’s personal beliefs.
Climate change tops the list of such facts denied by conservatives. But will they be as happy about this law when they find their homes waste-deep in seawater? Or, when they are finally forced to tread water 24/7 if they wish to remain in Florida?
The oceans ARE rising, and Florida’s conservatives will eventually discover how burying their head’s in the sand will have them drowning much sooner. This is going to make being a devoted Republican much, much more difficult.
Two Sad Ironies In Florida Passing Its 'Anti-Science' Law

Debating a conservative is like playing chess with a pigeon, they wander around the board aimlessly, sh!t on everything, and still believe they won. And they prove this over and over and over.
.
There is a renewed effort in the US for fake Christians to try to impose Christian Sharia law on the rest of the population. In red states children don't go to school to learn facts, they go to learn how facts can't be right because they contradict Christian Sharia law. Conservatives are quickly triggered into quivering lip syndrome whenever their religion is made to look silly by facts. So they use government power to force people to ignore facts. Problem solved. This is exactly why the founders knew the government and the church HAD to be separated.
John Adams said:
"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes throAnd let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.{2}ugh a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."{1}
And a guy named George Washington upon leaving office:
"And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."{2}
And:
John Jay was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers and became America’s first Supreme Court Justice. He also served as the president of the American Bible Society. He understood the relationship between government and Christian values. He said, “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”{7}
So like many (most leftists?) you have no clue about our history. Or science for that matter. Your politico-religious world views are all you know or care about.
Your level of projection is galactic. And you use one of the go-to fake tactics of conservatives. 'Find a few examples of something, ignore the examples that don't fit your narrative, and then decalse THERE I've vanquished all who opposed me just because I say so'.
Riiiiight.
