      I really like the Preacher adaptation too. But his retarded clone (? Cousin? I forgot) steals the show.

    No it doesn’t, and that’s the problem.

      It does, though.

      The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents the government from making laws respecting an establishment of religion…

        It only says that CONGRESS shall make no law. The states think they have that power to enforce a religion but the national government does not.

          They might think that, but they don’t.

        That’s not freedom from religion. That’s freedom from a religious state.

      I think get what you’re saying. Freedom from religion should be codified in some manner, and atheism should be afforded the same protections and rights. Right?

        Kind of, but not really. Look at France, they have freedom from religion. They’re not allowed to be religious fanatics in public. It’s why they banned the burkini.

          I mean, if they ban only Islamic religious symbols but not crosses, bhindis, or yarmulkes then they’re just punching down on a vulnerable and powerless minority. A society is only as good as it treats its most vulnerable, otherwise their culture is “might is right”, which isn’t a culture per se.

            I think you missed the forest through the trees on that one. I agree that you can’t half ass it though.

    I’m still annoyed that the US adopted In God We Trust as our national motto in the 1950’s. No idea how that got through and wasn’t deemed unconstitutional.

      It is part of propaganda to demonise the officially atheist USSR from the God (never mind which god we’re referring to)- loving Americans. 1

    Just as long as you include the less traditional religions too, which the big one would be the LBGTQ+ belief system in the west.

    Unless we’re talking about worshiping concepts like private property, greed, or human nature, all of which liberals adore quite fervently.
