It's fairly simple, separation of church and state. You believe in God that's great good for you, proselytize all you want on your time with your money. If you however want the State via schools, courts, or any government organ to spend tax dollars promoting your faith then I have a problem with that. My example in my county with the in God we trust stickers is a perfect example. If you don't agree with that then you don't agree with the foundational documents and arguments this country was founded on. Did you know for example that original US currency did not have "in God we trust" on it? I collect coins I have some from the early 1800s without it, look it up. It started becoming more common around the Civil War and culminated with it being passed into law by President Eisenhower in 1955 largely as a reaction to Communist Russia and their rejection of organized religion. Check it out I have a couple of these in my collection https://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/136/large-cents/draped-bust/1802-P/normal-reverse/
Separation of church and state is a philosophy promoted by dictators who wish to replace the church with the state. It's not constitutional and there is no common law precedent. No matter what policy you advocate for, I will assert, you are bringing your beliefs and values into that advocacy. So, by forcing the separation of Christian -specific values you are discriminating against their free exercise of religion. I'll admit though that legislating region ie compelling a belief is immoral, not legal, and not Biblical.
It's not Constitutional? It's the first ammendment, literally the first. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Besides that I think you actually make a compelling argument and I am glad we can agree on compelling belief. If we stick with your line of reasoning my "belief" is government should make informed policy from the sciences and the trades objectively based on measurable and known knowledge and known unknowns or weak spots instead of based on Christianity which is one book which requires faith to believe, or any religion for that matter. I mean how many Christians do you know that actually adhere to the Bible rigorously and don't just listen to whatever their pastor says. Hell the pastor is wearing a suit with multiple types of fiber blends and colors Leviticus would like a word. The Bible doesn't even really mention much about abortion, you could say Thou shall not kill but then the Bible goes on to describe many reasons where killing is encouraged. That Jesus guy was alright though.
The doctrine of separation of church and state prevents free exercise of religion. An improved version of this concept might be something such as "state will not compel religion"
Thank God participation in Christianity is plummeting in America.
Some of you are too far gone to ever be woken up.
You're arguing in good faith with details, logic, nuance and facts. You'll not find that reciprocated here. This place is largely populated by angry, low IQ "christian" racists, incels and morons. The irony of a conspiracy community being filled with practicing Christians is 100% lost on them.
