    Knowledge without Truth, means nothing! and there is a huge difference, between "teaching" and "indoctrination".

    and since, I'm guessing that you're going to ask what Indoctrination means, here you go.

    None of this has anything to do with my post.

    Separation of Church and States protects religion from us and us from religion.

    Taking god out of politics isn't taking god out of America. The founding fathers took god out of politics.

    You know the "In God We Trust" crap on the coins was only added in the 1900s.

    And "One Nation Under God" was added to the pledge in 1954

    No…pot is not a gateway drug. People who don’t know any better believe it is but they are wrong. Please educate yourself.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Democrats do no such thing as preferring the things you mentioned over Christianity (not god, there are many gods). It's only your RW media that tell you Dems do that, so they can foster more hatred for financial gain.

    I was brought up as a Catholic. While at one point I became an agnostic, I still think that the recipe for human conduct laid out by the New Testament is a good one -- if people could only adhere to it.

    From what I see, most RW evangelicals in the US usually preach a good game about morality, but their actual behavior is in stark contrast. If they would actually follow the teaching of Christ, they would not hate foreigners, but rather invite them into their homes and feed them. They would not hate Democrats. They would not love a serial adulterer and divorcee, who might just be the most immoral man ever to grace the oval office. They would not constantly bear false witness (i.e. lie) about the political opposition, and the list goes on.

    When they stop trying to foist their religious beliefs on everyone else, and stop being hypocrites, then maybe they can be taken more seriously. The way they currently are, their ideology is a danger to America, just like the ideology of the Taliban is a danger to Afghanistan.

    I don't know but I'll take a SWAG. I thing they kinda equate God with regular conservative leaning people and anything even a half-way conservative does or likes is despised.

    Because "God" is an Imaginary Friend?

    More than half of Democrats say they believe in God.

    Yeah, I realize that, but the question was about Democrat leadership.

    If god existed, this would not be an issue. I am far from being a Democrat, but I still oppose my tax dollar being used to promote religion. If you want to believe you were born a sinner because a snake convinced a naked lady to eat an apple, I respect your beliefs. No government interference necessary.

    i think you need to go back to 1789 for that answer. my question is why do christians want to comingle the functions of religion and government?
    which religion should be "recognized? "

    Who the hell knows what any of them believes—on either side? Democrats have played woke, cancel culture politics and ignored too many real concerns...

    ... and also virtue-signaled by wasting money promoting green technology before it was ready for prime time (like handing people a lot of money if they put solar cells on their roof).

    Republicans passed tax cuts for high-income folks, did zip to insure Americans got decent healthcare at affordable prices, talked about school vouchers and then didn't meaningfully promote them, screwed up our relations with Europe, got almost nothing from NAFTA 2.0, and antagonized Canadians who have the water and oil we need.

    The worst is that economic growth in Trump's first three years was almost identical to Obama's last three despite doubling the deficit pre-covid to $1t.

    Neither do you unless you believe women should not be able to vote and that slave states should be allowed to keep slaves. Do you?
    I don't think that the Founding Fathers would have written some items as they did if they were in society today - things evolve.

    Dude! Why are you trying to take away my fun? There is nothing funnier than seeing Monday morning quarterbacks spout out stuff they have no clue about.

    The constitution was amended properly to deal with such matters and yet the secular left still reject it and are in denial that we’ve made a more perfect Union as the founders envisioned that we would.

    They don't, and the New Testament is clear about that.
    All of them as long as they are bona fide religions and not just temporary dreamed up sects.

    "I" was just wondering, why trumpublican's, across the board, want to paint half of all AmeriCAN's with that broad brush (like so many other things) when it's just not true. It must be a Kelly-Anne Alternative-fact. 8)

    I am not a Democrat or a liberal but I was raised in a theocracy. It was Tennessee, 1940s and 1950s, and the rulers were Southern Baptists. I don't want to live in another theocracy. And, usually when people in the U.S. mention a god, or their God, they mean the Protestant Christian god and all others should be banned.

    Democrats hate the Constitution and religious folks just hate the First Amendment.

    Yes Yes, I know. Democrats tend to think, that just because the majority of them are Anti-Christ in beliefs, compared to Republicans, that we're perfect. Right? Just because most of us believe in God, doesn't mean, that we are God. We know that. I just wish that the Democrats in America would just stop comparing us to God. Only he is perfect, and no human is.

    That's not that hard to understand. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. No, I'm not justifying sin.

    Democrat Politicians are the biggest betrayal in this Country. They sell us out to China, and any of the other highest bidders, and they make America, the laughing stock of the nations, especially with feeble old joe in there, who can hardly stand.
