Is it wrong to not be a christian in America?

Question

The key word in this question is NOT.

Answer 1

My Prez said that we are at war.

Answer 2

First of all, it is not wrong to not be a Christian in America. I"m a Christian, but that doesn't mean that you have to be. If you disagree with Christian doctrine, that's your choice, and as an American, you have the right to be whatever you want to be. It appears as if the Republican Party would disagree with me, but they can cry me a river. America doesn't depend on them for all of the answers. It's about time that the American people starting making up their own minds about what they believe and not what their party of choice wants them to believe. This is American dammit. Prove it!

Answer 3

Small-minded ppl are reading your question and immediately jump that you are stating 'is it wrong to be a christian'. You are asking is '.. IN AMERICA.'

My answer is YES. I have been Christian all my life but I have disassociated myself with all Christian affiliations in the USA over the past few years.

The 'Church' in the USA has become lost of the 'word' by doing things like pushing their beliefs on others, using Faith-based Intiatives that clearly are unconstitutional, and supporting a war that has purposelessly killed 100,000s.

Answer 4

religion is a personal choice and decision. christian, jewish, catholic, muslim, hindu, buddhist, mormon, jehova witness, all are centered on the belief in a higher power, and a better place for your soul. there is not a connection to any religion and being american, or living in america. this country was founded first and foremost so that the citizens can be free to worship, or not to worship, as they see fit, and not how a government tells them they must. the seperation of church and state was made so that no religious organization could have power over the government, and to keep the government from becoming the final word in how we can and cannot worship in our selected faiths. being in america and not being a christian is not wrong, but hatred of any one for their religious beliefs is!

Answer 5

It is wrong to assume that everyone should be like you. Think about it, just because you maybe a female, would it be wrong to be anything but female. How about where you work, is it wrong to work anyplace else? Of course it isn't wrong, so why should it be wrong to believe in any religion or none at all. This is the United States and we do have freedom of religion.

Answer 6

It isn't wrong, after all America is where there is freedom of religion. But I must admit, it gets increasingly difficult to not be a christian.

Answer 7

I've had Christians tell me that non-believers ought to be booted out. I've had others talk of bombing groups and let God sort it out. If these Christians are representative, it'd be more rational to conclude that it's wrong to be Christian in America or anywhere.

Answer 8

no, the point of america's whole "freedom of religion" thing refers to any religion and that a person should not and can not be judged based on there religion, race or sexual preferance. america is supposed to be home of the free but, sadly america's people rarely read the constitution to know what is rite. those that do read it and fallow it add amendments when the constitution tells them to give EVERYONE the same freedoms, no matter what.

Answer 9

No, it's not wrong. That's what America is about. Culture diversity. In my opinion, it's a shame that someone isn't a Christian, but that's their business. All I can do is try to persuade them otherwise.

Answer 10

no. there are so many religions in america. i think though that christians get the most attention and may be the doiminant group. but don't be afraid to be yourself.

Answer 11

NO - most of the founding fathers were DEISTS - not explicitly Christian AT ALL! (except for a very few)
