      It’s the wet dream so many of these sick fucks have been looking forward to ever since the start of this secular nation.

        Call this a hot take, but I don’t think we are a secular nation. We are de facto a Christian nation. This isn’t a good thing.

        If you look at the laws we have, from no selling alcohol on Sunday (the Lord’s day), to anti-lgbtq legislation, to what our social conservatives draw upon for their arguments, it comes back to Christian fundamentalist politics.

        If you are Muslim or Jewish, you are much more at risk of being the target of hate crimes than a Christian.

        The separation of church and state is something we are still trying to do. Even Jimmy Carter, a deeply Christian man, pointed to Christian fundamentalism being the greatest threat to America.
