All organized religions are an accepted form of prejudice.
Don't just single out the Christians.
Yes, the fact that so much Christianity is being injected into our politics scares me. I usually ask those folks to explain to me how it is that they consider God to be so all encompassing, and yet are incapable of allowing God to enforce what is right and wrong as God sees fit. Are they saying that God is not capable? God needs help deciding who is damned? Just a little bit pompous of humans to go against God under the guise of spreading his word, I think.
That is why we ALL need to vote. So that law does not end up being based in religion.
A lot good things also come from religion, so I'm not really against their humanitarian efforts, or their right to worship, or to try to recruit followers. I don't oppose their right to political opinions. I just do not want religion to be incorporated into schools, and government. It's always been separate, for good reason.
I don't think that you will succeed in trying to make all religions balanced, regulated, and taxed. I think your effort would be better served in some sort of Get Out The Vote or Rock the Vote type of campaign, but you do it how you want to, it's still a democracy!
Good luck

The Bible has two faces to choose from. To Be Blessed or to be cursed. One has to go into maturity to understand that all about God is not like the one seated on the throne watching your every move and be condemned to burn in hell if you disobey His laws. If you are good, you bless yourself with the feeling of wonder and awe as how great it is to feel you have done something good to yourself and to others. And you go to places that you have no worry that someone is out there to get you.That is like being in heaven.
If you are bad, you put yourself to sleepless nights, you watch your shoulder for any chance that someone may get you, you think of others as though they are always there to betray your trust, you do everything and put yourself in a place called paranoia.
And will you not feel the hell in that?
Maybe, the preachers you hear of words that you mentioned are still existing in the world of child's fantasies. If you keep listening to them then you too have not grown up yet.
Yes, I agree that Christianity is an organization but I disagree with you about them being criminals. Early Christian Religions if you have read the letter of Paul to the Romans:13:1-7 ( And I guess you have not) says that you have to submit yourself to governing authorities.. obey the law of the land...and that you have to pay your taxes. It is only in this later centuries that many countries have endorsed into law to give tax exemptions to any religious activities as they too are doing charitable works. Honestly, I am not very certain of whose bright idea was that.
Before you accuse Christianity of being an organized crime, why not read also the papers on who send their people to study how to fly the plane and crash it to the WTC. Whose organization is not afraid to wrap bombs around themselves and blow themselves inflicting innocent people. I do not blame Islam as a religion for this because this action are done by those who use Islamic Traditions to their evil schemes just probably the same for those who use the Christian traditions are their way to con their innocent followers.

It's all based on myths, and hot heads get excited about everything and claim that THEY are the messengers of god.
All of it is nonsense and cannot be proved. Just because a person has read something and forms beliefs does not mean any of it is based on fact. It's a huge excu$e for money and power.

As soon as someone thinks their own thoughts are good and Jesus Christ's thoughts are bad they are on the road to hell.
Get a Bible
Jesus Christ is the "I AM" or God Himself in a visible body.
"For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily."
-- Colossians 2:9
"Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?"
-- John 14:9
"Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you Before Abraham was, I AM."
-- John 8:58

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

It is not our words, but Gods. Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no man enters the kingdom but by Him. I feel very comfortable letting you go your own way. It does not effect me in any way. You are not the Christians enemy. Those who are NOT killing us....are our friends.

They are sheep because only sheep think this way.
