>>Once you start pushing people more and more into a state religion, you get closer and closer to a theocracy. I came from a Catholic country. Although a very open society it still irked me that non-Catholics are restricted in some civic actions and posts. For example to be president (in many countries in South America), you have to be Catholic. It says so in their Constitution.

That's the gist of the lawsuit at the start of this thread. We are being pushed to religious belief by the State. That should not be forced.


>>We are here a more open society with respect to individual freedoms. Although we are a majority of Christians, we are not a "Christian Nation". The Constitution (Separation of Church and State) says so. There is a big difference.

>IMO people say this is a "Christian" nation because many of our laws are derived from Judeo-Christian teaching (notice, I didn't say values).

So? It is still a secular society. I am sure the millions of native americans where Christianity was rammed down their throats, same with African-Americans which forefathers were brought as slaves, imprisoned against their wishes and not allowed to practice their religion (be it Yoruba, Islam, or whatever), would not agree with you.

Would you like the Government to push Judaism on you? Do you want a law that says you need to be circumcised? If that is the case I can recommend a Mohel or two <g>. If it is not, then pray because you want to, not because the Government tells you to.
