Thou shalt not show up to church just to eat all the Jeez-Its and drink all the wine, then awkwardly leave after drunkenly asking the pastor’s daughter if she wants to bang in the belfry
Separation of church and state is Christianity. Human rights are Christianity. If you are a communist, you are a Christian. Christian communism - Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_communism
Few years ago Texas required ‘In God we Trust’ signs to be displayed in classrooms. Schools weren’t allowed to pay for them, so basically donated. They conveniently rejected the signs that had a rainbow on it, or the one written in Arabic.
Oh no. That was Kentucky. Notably they don’t have the ten commandments in their classrooms for some weird reason. I guess we’re going to find out if that SCOTUS ruling still applies.
That is an extremely narrow view of the First Amendment that goes against over two centuries of judicial precedent. Only a Clarence Thomas-level originalist would make such an argument.
“the Pledge of Allegiance does not violate the rights of those who don’t believe in God and does not have to be removed from the patriotic message”
“As a matter of historical tradition, the words ‘under God’ can no more be expunged from the national consciousness than the words ‘In God We Trust’ from every coin in the land, than the words ‘so help me God’ from every presidential oath since 1789, or than the prayer that has opened every congressional session of legislative business since 1787.”
Nah, that’s a bullshit excuse for religious indoctrination.
Now, will you admit you were incorrect about the pledge of allegiance being mandatory in schools?
No. If the pledge must be taught in school and some individual students can opt out of repeating that indoctrination, doesn’t mean that the pledge itself is not mandatory subject in school. I did not write that all students must recite it.
All your “ceremonial deism” reference proves is that there is a giant loophole for the federal government to indoctrinate on religion and not just state and lower levels.
This is also not a requirement. I’m just going to stop talking to you. Virtually everything you have said so far has not been true and you won’t even acknowledge any of it.
Now you’re understanding what “don’t feed the trolls” means. Communication with this type of brain damaged moron is a pointless waste of time and energy
Not if the 14th amendment has anything to say about it. The incorporation doctrine of the 14th amendment applies the first 10 amendments to the state level as well.
Everson v. Board of Education … was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that applied the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to state law.
There are so many cases of promoting Christianity by the US government, a few cherrypicked cases of “trouble” doesn’t disprove any of this.

Name and shame the religious extremist who passed this and ban them from office
Ask them how they’d feel about requiring children to wear hijabs and all of the sudden they’ll understand how everyone feels about their fascist laws lol
On the one hand, you have the anti-science, anti-reason, bible-thumping retrograde assholes.
On the other, you can bet that these same bible-thumping assholes break many of the very same ten commandments on a regular basis.
Finally, they could have posted something from the Gospels, from the lips of Jesus himself such as “love thy neighbor” and “turn the other cheek”, but noooo…
