He's my hero t-bones..
Yes, you've made that clear. I'd expect you'd have already moved to Russia, except that we all know you're all mouth, Mr. ISIS-must-die-what-me-go-over-and-fight-them-no-way-I'm-an-internet-warrior.
Over half of Republicans want to make Christianity national religion

You know, I don't think you are correctly capturing the nuance of this statement's original context.
Whatever sounds good to fulfill his religious agenda.
According to some on this Web Forum, like MegaButtHurtz, ISIS was formed by America.. :lol:
So I guess a Christian Theocracy sounds good on this Continent.
Just my personal opinion..
Yaaa riiight. Theocracy here. You would be disappointed with your lot in life if that happened.
Well T-Bones, I would like to see things from your point of view, too bad, I just can't shove my head that far up my azz.
Thank you for demonstrating your originality. For ****'s sake, Boomer, have you ever had a thought of your own?
The truly frightening part is that such a specimen as you has the franchise. Oh well, the Republic has survived fools before. It's not like they're hard to outwit.Oh shut-up T-Bones, you'll never be the Man your Mother is.
So you must have noticed that in 20 years - 1991 to 2011," No religion" went from 12.6% to 23.9%, very very close to doubling. Now consider, that during that time, the population also grew by about 6 million. It is estimated to be about 35 plus million now, more than another million.
I remember those polls and while I did not believe in God, and did not go to church. In Quebec language schooling historically was separated by belief . Today of course all taxes go to the Catholic School Board, unless you and/or your children were educated in the English school system.
In today's Canada, those having no religious affiliation or belief in God is growing at a great rate, and the biggest change is they do not fear expressing their non-belief. The older people are still mostly believers but not very many of the younger generations are.
As long as you believe, why would you get your knickers in a knot because many, even of the older generations not longer do.
The 47% are all those who believe religion to be harmful, so how does that compute?? Since very few religions are godless, there is something very wrong with those stats. In my opinion, more and more people are coming clean about their basic beliefs.

You're just trolling us now ........I hope.
Of course 'adhering' to anything translates to a loss of freedom to do anything else.
Of course you will show us the info that the USA has made English the official lingo.........
Americans Turning Away From Organized Religion in Record Numbers
The nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute has documented this sea change in its American Values Atlas, which it released last Wednesday. The fascinating study provides demographic, religious and political data based on surveys conducted throughout 2014.
According to PRRI director of research Dan Cox, "The U.S. religious landscape is undergoing a dramatic transformation that is fundamentally reshaping American politics and culture."
Last year, for the very first time, Protestants lost their majority status in the Institute’s annual report, making up only 47 percent of those surveyed. The religiously unaffiliated, who come in at 22 percent, boast numbers on par with major religious groups like American Catholics.
All told, the unaffiliated is the second-largest group in the country. It was also the most common group chosen by residents in 13 states, with the largest share (a third or more) in Washington, Oregon and New Hampshire. In Ohio and Virginia, this group was tied for first place. The unaffiliated don’t find too many like-minded folks down in Mississippi, however, where they make up only 10 percent of the population
There are more religiously unaffiliated people in the U.S. today than ever before. Starting in the 1980s, a variety of polls using different methodologies have come to the same conclusion: people who do not identify with religious labels are on the rise, perhaps even doubling in that time frame.
Some call them “nones”: agnostics, atheists, deists, secular humanists, general humanists, and people who just don’t care to identify with any religious group. It’s not exactly correct to call them nonbelievers, because some still have faith and spirituality in some sense or another.
A 2012 Pew study noted that 30 percent of these people believe in "God or universal spirit" and around 20 percent even pray every day. But according to the latest research, Americans checking the “none of the above” box will make up an increasingly important force in the country.

The last religious group wasn't such a win/win for everyone involved as any Indian still alive can attest to. Perhas they will do better with this warmongering fat fuk.

Again....where is yourlink or proof for that or are you just pulling numbers out of your a-ss as usual?
Poll: Most Canadians say religion not important, although majority believe in God | National Post
From the survey:
"Belief in God was expressed by 71% of women and 64% of men. Seventy per cent of respondents in both Ontario and Atlantic Canada said they believe God exists, while agreement on the question was slightly lower in Alberta (67%).
ACS executive director Jack Jedwab, writing in an overview of the findings, highlighted a significant generational divide over religion in Canada: 'Younger Canadians appear far less convinced about the existence of God than does the oldest cohort.'
Only 30% of those aged 18 to 24 agreed that religion is important to their life, while respondents aged 65 and older were most likely (56%) to consider religion a force in their life."
Mind you, those who claim belief in a god, do not define that belief. How does one differentiate among superstition, cultural traditions, and dishonesty in those affirmations?

Fear of the final curtain and nothingness, may skew the survey's "yesses" to the elderly and infirm. However, generational differences may simply refect an evolutionary shift in belief in Canada. Afer all, the percentage of Canadians who regularly attend religious services of any stripe is less than 20%. Sectarianism and dogmatic belief are on the wane. For instance, does anyone seriously believe in a hell of perpetual torture? Those beliefs are evaporating with beliefs in faeries and gnomes.

Seems to be moving in that direction. Americans that have issues with that are welcome in Canada. You guys can have Boomer back.
