For many, Freedom of Religion is the freedom to push YOUR beliefs on other people.

[taylorbug]

There needs to be a complete separation of religion and government. This is getting very out of hand.

[DeadDamsel]

I hate this political climate so much. I just want to exist and not have to worry about having my life upended in the next election.

[jerribaker-pbmb]

If church and state are not separate well these mega churches can start paying taxes

[shybard]

As someone who was raised religious and attended Catholic school, I can anecdotally confirm that being Christian doesn't positively correlate with being moral.
Not at all. Not even a little bit.

[angelakesecker]

Super Christian and super liberal here! Separation of church and state is very important and needs to be maintained! I'm so disappointed in my fellow Christians who are being duped by the Religious Right in this country (and really, all over the world). It's very upsetting and also prophesied by Jesus in the Bible. I think it's in or around Matthew 25, if anyone is interested; it's some scary stuff.

Religion and government should NEVER be mixed or integrated. Period.

I am a nurse. I work hard to care for ALL people the way they deserve. The people I care for come from all cultural and economic backgrounds. That is how our government should function. To care for ALL citizens! Not just the small (comparatively) amount of people that say they believe in a certain religion that they want to shove onto everyone else.

I work hard to promote positivity and peace.

I believe that if we work to build up everyone around us to be their best, we will always be our best.

Im an athiest and have far more good morals than those who are trying to run our country.

[sceinceguy]

Personally I believe religious institutions should be taxed

[GeteMachine]

Christianity seems to have had more history as a tool than just a faith.

[shadowldrago]

Conservatives and cherry picking the past to justify cruelty. Name a more iconic duo.

[Magmafire]

Authoritarians do not "forget" they live with other people. They want people to live and exist by their standards in order to feel comfortable with themselves.

[fluffybytez]

Every day I find it harder to hold hope in this hellscape

[PatrickCraig-lhis]

If you have to legislatively force the people to say things like "Under God" and "In God We Trust, " it means that you have no faith whatsoever in God's power. It naturally follows that you don't believe in Him yourself. Your gods are power and money, and absolutely nothing else.

[thedapperdolphin]

The fact that our tax dollars now have to go to tax-exempt religious schools is BS.

[corvd]

As a pagan raised in the Bible belt living in Oklahoma where they've just mandated biblical curriculum I can't even explain to y'all how freaked out I am. I'm a religious minority in a Christian hegemonic cult of a state and I want out NOW.

[sarahkelly]

The wall between Church and State has always had a few holes in it. Indigenous peoples of this nation were not allowed to practice their religious ceremonies until *1978*. Yes, that’s right … we didn’t have religious freedom in the U.S. until 1978. So if you’ve ever wondered why there aren’t any annual powwows more than 45 years, that’s the reason.

Also, the government paid churches to assimilate Native people in boarding schools. It’s hand in glove, not a wall.

[kamionero]

“God” still shows up on money. Courts still swear on the bible.
That always baffled me

[tnhankins]

It's crazy how all roads lead us back to white nationalism.
