Will America declare itself to be "A Christian nation" , constitutionally?
Canada has allready declared separation of church and state and made it law, so the christians won't be declaring Canada "a christian nation" anytime soon. The USA has some small notions of separation of C and S, but it is being rejected by some states and juritictions where rabid christianty is evident.
I happened to see one of those TV Preacher personalities today, he was blasting us with a message that said over and over "We ARE a Christian Nation!!". He went on to say "I talked to the Cree Reservation yesterday, and they declared themselves to be 'A christian Nation". He mentioned a few foreign nations that have made the same proclamation.
They really believe it is a movement gaining ground, despite the truth - christianity is less popular now than 10, 20, 50, 100 years ago. Only Islam has increased it's numbers in the past decades, and athiesm has gained the most numbers, all other religions have lost numbers. The christians really do believe christianity is growing, and anyone who watches the major media will also believe christianity is growing, domninating in numbers of members - but its is just not true.
Problem is, it is a semi-isolated group saying "We Are a Christian Nation", they are well defined, and define themselves, as Christians. What about democracy that says I also get to say "what we are".?? - The christians are simply hijacking the democratic process, like terrorists against democracy, and using coersion to get this declaration.
Separate church and state was enacted because it would eliminate wars against the various religions.
What was happending was that one religion would get enough elected officals to make life miserable for other religions, and then the other religions revolt. We might see this soon in the USA if the Christians keep pushing their agenda on others.
On a global scle, one imperialistic nation spreading the gospel of christianity abroad could incite another world war. Currently it looks like Islam VS Christians.
Historically, it doesn't matter who was fighting who, it is all religious wars being fought on the basis of one or another god being the real one ina contaxt where niether god will be "proven", since, in all likelyhood, they don't exist. All this without one concrete sign of gods existence.... this species is really bonkers man. {I choose athiesm, as a way to gain god's favour, lol [since god would be pretty pisssed at the goings on here now, sinning in his name etc., if there were a god.]
Hey - The Conservative Party of Canada closely aligned with christianity isn't it?
