and why should government serve a "Christian Nation?"
In every way except religion, I have the same culture as a Christian. Does that make you feel better?
The nation is a group of people who hold a common heritage, tradition, religion, and/or ethnicity.
your assertion that you do means nothing
Sure.
So America isn't a nation?
Nope
Because if it's not that's a pretty useless definition.
it is comprised of multiple nations
Great. So why can't I run for office again?
I mean, you say I can't serve *the nation* correctly, but there's multiple in America?
Why do you think so many states constantly threaten secession? The state cannot serve all of the nations properly which leads to strife between the different regions.
Right, but I don't care about interregional strife, I want to know why I shouldn't be allowed to enter office. Why does my lack of belief in God stop me from serving people well?
The civil war was a tragedy, the states should have remained the predominant authority in peoples lives.
If I entered office I would make 0 religious mandates or policies surrounding religion, with the exception of abolishing any laws that would prevent you from practicing your religion as you please.
The civil war is history, do you have anything recent?
You won't do the things that are in favor of the nation
calexit
What does that mean?
What is, and isn't, "in favour of the nation?"
Sure, I wouldn't. The social order is free to assemble itself, the state shouldn't be involved.
On principle you would have no problem with a mosque being built in the community
Correct!
As long as a church can also be built.
This is why, you don't have the nation in mind
Sure, now why is that bad?
You are undermining the nation, breaking down its identity, and devolving what it means to be a part of it. This is why you Canadians are such cucks, you can't see why your own nation is falling apart. You have no sense of self preservation.
No, not really and I can get to why exactly in a moment. But the first bit is just a reactionary, moral, and emotional statement. Justify it.
Look at Canada, and every western nation, this insistence on liberal secularism is a complete failure.
But that's not what I'm advocating for. I want to abolish all social programs and strengthen the borders.
@The Big Oof still think I'm a lolbert?
Boblert.
Yeah, I want those things too
But I don't want a shitty law that stops me from entering office just because I'm an Athiest. Why can't we be free religiously?
The individuals can be free to worship however they please.
☭ ☭ ☭
But they can't enter office? And they can't build a religious temple?
That's not "free to worship" that's "free to be fucked over."
Honestly the building of religious buildings should fall under the authority of local government, not state, federal, etc.
It should fall under the authority of people and whether or not they can acquire the land.
