you're right but the supreme court has upheld the establishment clause that we don't have a state religion and we can't have it

2020-02-12 21:13:13 UTC  

you can worship your religion

2020-02-12 21:13:26 UTC  

albeit christianity, islam, judaism, or buddhism

2020-02-12 21:13:43 UTC  

but if the government partakes in one of the many religions

2020-02-12 21:13:52 UTC  

it's gonna be christian and it's going to leave everyone else out

2020-02-12 21:18:42 UTC  

@Niveusater The supreme Court

2020-02-12 21:18:49 UTC  

Can overrule its own decisions

2020-02-12 21:19:09 UTC  

Precedents and decisions have been overturned in the past

2020-02-12 21:19:16 UTC  

yes it can and it may overrule their own decisions with a different and more right leaning court

2020-02-12 21:19:23 UTC  

but it has upheld the establishment clause

2020-02-12 21:19:25 UTC  

multiple times

2020-02-12 21:19:35 UTC  

Doesn't mean it can't be changed

2020-02-12 21:19:43 UTC  

you're right it can be changed

2020-02-12 21:19:50 UTC  

Can be changed

2020-02-12 21:19:51 UTC  

but i have doubts that they will change it

2020-02-12 21:19:51 UTC  

Can

2020-02-12 21:20:02 UTC  

sorry typo

2020-02-12 21:20:09 UTC  

you're right it can be changed

2020-02-12 21:20:25 UTC  

but my point is that the supreme court has upheld the establishment clause multiple times

2020-02-12 21:20:38 UTC  

and i doubt that they will try to change it

2020-02-12 21:20:45 UTC  

and in the case they do

2020-02-12 21:20:46 UTC  

Pack the courts

2020-02-12 21:20:50 UTC  

it's going to be a protestant religion

2020-02-12 21:21:05 UTC  

and it's going to be a protestant christian denomination

2020-02-12 21:21:21 UTC  

because if we turn to catholicism, the pope will gain influence over the united states

2020-02-12 21:21:26 UTC  

True

2020-02-12 21:21:28 UTC  

and that's what we never wanted

2020-02-12 21:21:35 UTC  

i'm not so sure about orthodox

2020-02-12 21:21:42 UTC  

State Protestant Christianity

2020-02-12 21:21:44 UTC  

Sounds great

2020-02-12 21:22:02 UTC  

sounds great for christians but the consequences might be more than i think

2020-02-12 21:22:27 UTC  

The Protestant churches will probably centralize if there was a state enforcement of Christianity

2020-02-12 21:22:46 UTC  

what do you view as the consequences @Niveusater

2020-02-12 21:23:02 UTC  

Most likely a central council

2020-02-12 21:23:07 UTC  

perhaps the protestant churches will centralise but you need to realise that there are many inconsistencies between protestant religions based on interpretation

2020-02-12 21:23:11 UTC  

that can cause a rift

2020-02-12 21:23:15 UTC  

if you just mean discrimination against other religious denominations then i dont really see how thats a consequences

2020-02-12 21:23:30 UTC  

considering christianity is a fundamental part of American culture

2020-02-12 21:23:39 UTC  

@Niveusater Or just state Christianity, non-denominational

2020-02-12 21:23:46 UTC  

Mormons don't count

2020-02-12 21:23:48 UTC  

of course i see discrimination against other religious denominations
