Ridiculous article with ridiculous assertions. I don't know any Christians that desire a 'Christian America', and I live in the Bible Belt. The reason is because Christians understand that Christianity comes in many flavors; Baptists don't want Methodists making the rules, Catholics don't want Protestants in charge, etc. Article is simple inflammatory click bait.
Just my experience but I know someone who is a lobbyist for a high profile brand and has said to me “the founders intended for this to be a Christian nation so making laws that reflect those values is okay” Not saying you are wrong but I have encountered at least one, and that one is in a very influential position.
If you honestly think you don't know anyone who wants that, you've deluded yourself. It's not the majority, but they absolutely exist, and they've absolutely captured the republican party.
You're an idiot.
I'm sorry that you're too blind to reality. I hope you eventually realize that and fix it.
You should look up the southern strategy.
Dominion Theology is damn near mainstream in the Republican Party. No one ever accused Christians of being logically consistent. All simply assume their bullshit interpretation will win out in the end because God.
Just because you have access to the internet doesn't mean you should post your dumbass opinion.
New to the internet, I see. LOL.
You ever talk politics with many of the Christians you know?
You sound like the white people who say racism doesn't exist because they don't see it.
The article above, that you didn't read, talks about the speaker of the house and surveyed Americans.
