State Religion?

Headline: North Carolina May Declare Official Religion Under New Bill

A new state religion? Wow, I hope it's Islam! Conservative politics are all about reducing federal control and allowing the populations choose what's right for them based on popular vote. At the very core of it, what the Tea Party and conservatives are trying for is to remove all those federal bans of religion and state to allow the majority faith to be allowed to ram itself down everyone's throats.

When people point to how domesticated Christianity has become since the middle ages, I have to point out that it is not through it's own volition, but rather through being muzzled by secularism that it conforms, if only to survive. Naturally, like any muzzled beast, it is trying to cast off it's bonds and return to it's roots.

It's roots being the point at which it had ultimate control, the dark ages.

Of course, the country will return to civil war before it allows such things, and Texas will run as soon as it gets a chance as well! But we must do what is best for ALL the people, ensuring rights and religious freedom for the entire population, not merely the majority religion.

From North Dakota's abortion ban to North Carolina's requirement of god for a position of office, there is much work to do to ensure we stop oppressing each other in the public square. Even Bill O'Reilly knows only bible thumpers stand between homosexuals and gay marriage.
