It used to be..

It used to be religion was seen as dangerous threat to a sound functioning government that works for all people.
The founders were fleeing religious persecution and made our government secular for this reason.
Long time ago political hopefuls had to reassure the public that their religious beliefs would not impair their judgment while in power.

When the hell did this great notion our founders saw as vital to this country get nullified?

Was it a gradual forgetting of the dangers of religion in the state, in the government ? Or a gradual plan to put church into state on purpose by zealots? Seems that this problem was taken seriously once upon a time.

Sick sneaky evangelicals are who made this idea that religion corrupts power fade away from public awareness. With the moral majority shit and beyond. evangelical assholes have seeped into the highest places of law.

Now we have religious bigoted believers making laws and judgments based on their fucking religion, declaring who has human rights and who does not.
They go twisting the laws of the land to fit their delusions and prejudices
This crap has now become the norm. People do not stand against these Christian manipulators much nowadays.

Why can't we get some sanity and admit some beliefs are toxic to democracy.

Disqualify the religious freaks because thier beliefs are toxic to democracy..

Beliefs like being a nazi right-wing control freak ,or Evangelical assholes who strive to legislate for their crazy church to control government to make all people obey the church is wrong. It's anti American.

Zealots always push their religion on everyone else. And they now brazenly take rights away from others they don't like solely because of their beliefs.

They destroy woman's right to choose..they legislate transgender people can be subjected to the whims of abusers all because of the irrational beliefs they hold.

The Evangelical menace is dehumanizing all sorts of people who don't believe in their churchy bullshit or does not value their values..

Fuck all the Evangelical pieces of shit.

Their religious beliefs are not special, sacred or without harm. Religious zealots need to be chastised, and chased out of government forever.

America is not Christian nation and it's definitely not an Evangelical church.

I'd like to see that prayer breakfast in congress shut down. Because this is one way evangelicals corrupt power with religion.

I hope the Dems would put a provision into law that would disqualify certain types of beliefs( like Nazism, Evangelical control govt.end times horseshit, blending church and state, Homophobia, Trans phobia, Misogyny or corporations and state are not to be seperated) All religious bullies need to be banned from public service precisely because of their toxic beliefs ban them from ever being in public service.
Forever.

Get the fuck face evangelicals out of government,out of the justice system and out of places of power.
They need to keep it in church and out of government.

They want to cram their own silly little mythology down everyone else's throats. They do not deserve any courtesy at all.
