I'm religious. I'm Christian. I've done seminary. I teach religion classes. I read scriptures with my family daily.
I do not want a religion-run government. I don't want the government telling anyone how to worship. I don't want any god involved in political discourse.
@LianaBrooks We need an explicit law stating that one person's beliefs or religion has no bearing on another person's life, especially if that other person doesn't share the first one's beliefs or religion.
@LianaBrooks Not explicit enough. It protects practicing one's religion, but doesn't do anything to restrict one from imposing that religion on others.
@NoahPaulLeGies Mmm, okay. I can see that reading. Although I'd argue that, legally, atheism is a religious point of view and therefore protected. You have the right to not pray. But I see where people would twist it.
@NoahPaulLeGies Something like, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." ?
Too wordy, you think?
