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.

The radical right have repeatedly said that freedom of religion does not mean freedom FROM religion, and that is exactly why they have the “right” to force their religion upon others though law and courts. They read it as the Federal government is not allowed to choose one national religious sect, but states can enforce any religion they want, which happens to be a violent usurpation of “christianity”.
I think that for most people it’s nothing more than a social club. I have always been skeptical ever since hearing absurd stories about arks and being eaten by whales, but every once in a while (especially after sobering up) I went into various churches to see if I might have been missing out on something. Invariably I just found a social club of people just looking for excuses to feel better about themselves. Anything good that happens is a direct blessing from a doting god; anything bad is always the devil…personal responsibility is never part of the answer. Many are just uneducated and dont know how to think; they accept whatever Grandpa says as truth without any consideration, and this extends to pastors. I am atheist; my wife is a devout believer…but more and more she sees something horrible happen and can’t deny it when I point out that religion did that. She still has her higher power but is starting to see the brainrot and brainwashing in her friends and family and can’t understand why they do what they do while calling themselves ‘christians’. It’s not faith; it’s just social self-service.
No, they are conditioned to it by radical fascist talk radio and little betas like Charlie Kirk
I had it out with a friend of mine who has gone full fascist, spews all the fascist talk show rhetoric, refuses to back any of his claims. A traitor in my opinion, and he is no longer welcome in my life in any way.
They dont fight any more. They’ve been conditioned to think that violence is barbaric and we just need to meet Nazis in the “marketplace” and “win them over with better ideas”.
You are missing the point about the courts.
By not being beaten with baseball bats when they prove to be sociopathically psychotic
Ever since I left NC it has become the most fucked up bunch of deranged retards (oh, excuse me, deranged “mentally challenged” 🙄 ) and I am NOT going back to fix it. This is what nonstop, unchallenged radical fascist radio causes, and every shitlib here is still gonna defend it as “free speech”.
And yet, here we are…posting commandments in schools (and not Beatotudes) and removing women’s rights in accordance with God’s Plan
