[quote spearmint]Why even bring it up?
Why bring religion up? Because there's a significant portion of the population that feels that their religion is the "correct" one and all their money and effort goes to making sure that their religion (not "religion", but "their religion") becomes the standard and that all our laws be changed to make sure that their religious beliefs become the laws that everyone has to follow.
They believe that turning the USA into a theocracy is their path to the kingdom of heaven. Helping the poor, loving their neighbor, loving their enemy, turning the other cheek? That's pussy crap that only "old fashioned" Christians believe. New Christians don't care about that old Jesus. They worship:
American Jesus!
