Most people in the U.S. are still Christians. What difference does that make? Congress is not supposed to establish religion. It’s right there in the first amendment. If you declare a single god, you are establishing a religion and excluding citizens that don’t believe- Hindus, Buddhists and atheists to name three.
Would you be okay with the motto of it was “Trust in Jesus?”
As far as I know, Supreme Court ruled that it does not establish religion. I’d say the same if most of the country was Hindu and it referenced their deity. It’s a fucking motto and most motto’s are outdated and show some cultural reference to the people long gone.
Yes, I know what they ruled. Do you think every Supreme Court ruling is correct? Dred Scott v. Sandford was the proper decision?
I mean, you said that most of the country is still christian? So, in a democratic society which is mostly christian there is a motto that references times when even more of the country was christian and the soul of the country was mostly christian?
Yeah, a huge problem.
Again- First Amendment. No establishment of religion. How is this so hard for you?
But it does not establish a any religion as a country’s official religion. It’s a remnant of past times.
The Constitution doesn’t say anything about establishing religion as the country’s official religion.
There’s a reason teachers aren’t allowed to lead school prayers from any religion and it has nothing to do with what the official religion of the nation is or is not.
