Sweetheart, PLEASE try to calm down, lol. Most people will agree with you, but you COULD be at least a little nicer. There's lots of kids on this site. Even I'm not that brutal. Good question, though.

There never has been religious freedom except for small spaces of time and place. That is why many people came to this country.
The separation of church and state is a figment of the imagination of the ignorant. Governments throughout history have been involved in, keyed on or controlled religion while religion in many cases has controlled government.
A good two miles run at least five days a week might help with your emotional state. If running is not possible, walking will do.

Well the anger will not help your points to much I am afraid. But bear in mind things are changing all the time. The ultimate proof this is not a christian nation is, not everyone here is a christian. Otherwise, Jews, agnostics, atheists, pagans, would be in trouble. Notice also, of all the examples, only one mentions a specific god. Before Christ. The others only say god, our lord and such. No specific as to what gods they mention. Me, when I see in god we trust on the money, I say a silent prayer to the god of money. Him, I like him. And BC and AD are slowly being changed to BCE and CE. One nation under god for me means, the god small bathing suits.

If you don't want to be a christian that is your business, but you are in the christian category and you need to watch your mouth. This country was founded because of religion. The first Americans were Christians. Like it or not this is a Christian nation-if you don't like it move to another country.

I agree, Im Pagan but i think the christianity in america is ridiculous, it used to be a small town rural religion and now its gone worldwide, i know theyre shooting for world domination and I hope they dont succeed.
Oh and for you history buffs, the real founding fathers were cherokee and comanche *Indians* that the Europeans slaughtered and tossed aside to a reservation. they started out as Pagans but were forced into christianity by the white man.

Unfortunately, I believe the US was founded by devout Christian followers and they just incorporated the religion into the modern way of life. I dont think religion should be allowed to come into everything. I know people complain about people not being American or patriotic if they dont say the pledge of allegiance. Is it fair to ask a man to change his religion? I think you're wrong. The US was founded on Christianity, and freedom of choice. You either choose to accept it, or ignore it and move on.

You contradict yourself.
to have freedom of religion means allowing any religion the freedom to be and teach what they believe.freedom of religion isn't freedom of religion if you say all religions are ok Except Christianity and their believes.Freedom mean free to do without abuse,persecution,government restrictions and punishment.People are told to be "tolerant" and to hate Christians and without thinking they do.
Read your post if you want to read opposition to freedom of religion.

As long as certain people feel the irrational need to control huge amounts of people by using fear and intimidation, religion will be there as a useful tool.

Why can't you make your point and still show some respect for yourself.
I believe in freedom of religion.....whatever that religion of lack of religion is.... but your follow-up is way over the top and crude.
