Most Republicans Support Declaring the United States a Christian Nation

We followed up by asking: “Would You Favor or Oppose the United States Officially Declaring the United States to be a Christian Nation?” The findings were striking. Overall, 62 percent of respondents said they opposed such a declaration, including 83 percent of Democrats and 39 percent of Republicans. Fully 61 percent of Republicans supported declaring the United States a Christian nation.

Guys, Mashie was ahead of the curve on this one. Recall, I was one of the first to ever bring this idea up in my well-received thread last January It’s Time to Formally Declare America A Christian Nation.

People had never heard that before. People acted shocked at the notion. Leftwingers barked about the 1st Amendment (Never mind, they trash the 2nd Amendment). People act like there haven't been 27 Amendments already.

This article recognizes my point that separation of church and state is impossible. But my rationale remains the best, and I'm the only one who has mentioned it. When you try to avoid enacting Christian laws, you enact atheist laws by default. There is no such thing as a void. The reason America needs to be declared officially a Christian nation is because it has unofficially become an atheist nation, pushing atheist laws. And so, since we have to choose between atheism and theism, with no other alternative possible, we should choose the BEST belief, which is Christianity. My preference is Roman Catholicism.

Prominent Republican politicians have made the themes critical to their message to voters in the run up to the 2022 midterm elections. Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee for governor in Pennsylvania, has argued that America is a Christian nation and that the separation of church and state is a “myth.”

This article published by Marxist-funded Yahoo blatant LIED, however, when they said Christians want a white Christian country. This is completely unsubstantiated. There was never any evidence offered to support this lie in the article or anywhere else.

We were founded as a Christian nation based upon Christian beliefs. No race involved. That’s shit you made up.

What's an "atheist law?"

Are we going to be based on Roman Catholic rules and morays or Protestant?

Which denomination of Christians are we going to go by?

Just a few questions for starters OP.

Progs are of the Demonic Religion. So there is no separation of church and state.

 

[Anathema]

e have a de facto athiest nation right now? Are you fine with that? I'm not.

I’m concerned that we have an immoral nation far more than I’m worried about having an irreligious nation. I have no use for religion; but believe deeply in morality and traditional values.

We have a satanist nation right now.

 

[TemplarKormac]

I have no interest in a theocratic nation. I would like to see this nation reestablish itself on a foundation of Morality and Values, bot NOT on religion.

I have neither an interest in a theocracy or a nation that disabuses itself from religion altogether.

 

[Anathema]

An entity without morals and values is not governable.

How many leftist atheists do you know who have built good lives without morals and values? And I'm not talking about the virtue signalers, okay? That is NOT morals and values. It's narcissistic theater.

Morals and values, not just words they say to try to convince you they're good people

The problem is that many, many people have fallen into the trap of believing that morals and values emanate from religions. They fail to realize that morals and values predate the human construct thst is religion.

The loss of the religious is what gets you the other. Morality and values can’t come from a government.

I don't necessarily agree but will give you your point.

No they don’t. Morals and values come from religion. Only God can provide that guidance.

You’re absolutely right, it can’t come from Government… but it can come from The People. Our Founding Fathers understood that.

I don't necessarily agree but will give you your point

Thank you. That’s very much appreciated.

No they don’t. Morals and values come from religion. Only God can provide that guidance

God and Religion aren’t the same thing. I believe in aGod/Deity but I am not religious. It took me 27 years but I learned my lesson about the uselessness of religions… ALL of them.

I agree with Mike's points.

 

[DBA]

I say it will. The USSR had an atheist government for 70 years. As a result, many Russians today are atheist.

Yeah communist nations push atheism. They want the government to be your source of truth and hope. Sound familiar?

 

[occupied]

Show us on this doll where the naughty man in the cassock touched you.

Then have a cherry.

I was molested by a baptist deacon. He had been at that church long enough to have molested three generations of kids. He died surrounded by his tearful family who knew exactly what he was instead of being torn apart by wild hogs like he deserved. Still feel like making jokes asshole? So-called Christians of every denomination will absolutely cover for monsters.

 

[Anathema]

I agree with Mike's points.

In my experience and my mind religion is the the second least moral institution in this world, right after representative government, for the same reason… they’re both polluted by human nature.

I'd have no problem being a Christian nation.

It's not like an Islamic nation, where they throw queers off the roof and murder their own children in the name of "honor killings."

And it's not like a secular atheist nation, where they rip unborn babies out of the womb, tear them apart while alive, and sell the body parts.

And it's not like a socialist nation, where you have one lower class of people struggling to survive, and another minority class getting rich from their sweat, tears, blood, and toil.

The truth is, most every civilized country in the world became so in one way or another, because of what Christianity teaches. Our rights came from Christianity. Our laws were derived from Christianity. Our morals are those taught in the Bible. And during our pioneer era, it was the Bible that taught people how to read and write.

Morality can’t come from people. People can justify anything. Look no further than abortion and the arguments they make. That’s peoples version of morals.

Whatever pushed you away from religion you got your belief from it. You never would have without that experience.

Wow! I'll bet you feel clever after posting that.

Here. Have a cherry.

 

[whitehall]

Republicans said no such thing. The post is based on spin by someone named Stella Rouse of Yahoo about poll that asked about 2,000 Americans if they thought the Constitution would allow the government to declare the U.S. to be a Christian Nation. The (disappointing?) result was that 70% of Americans said that it was likely unconstitutional but lefties salvaged the results to make a fake claim that wasn't even included in the poll. This kind of junk is likely to infect left wing politics for the next couple of months and people need to look at the details.

I respectfully disagree. I believe that morality can and does come from the instincts of mankind. People may choose to disregard those morals, but I believe they are always there.

Whatever pushed you away from religion you got your belief from it. You never would have without that experience

No, mostly I got my beliefs in spite of it. The first 30 years of my life I believed in a lie called religion. It took my father’s death and my response to it to shed the clear my vision and get me to see true morality and values, not religious propaganda.
