Is it that Christians hate America or just freedom of religion?

Question

For example, when you try to force schools and/or other government buildings to post religious documents, or hold religious services. Or pass religiously inspired laws.

Answer 1

I would say freedom of religion and that which does not come straight from the Bible!

America itself is steyrotypically insular and unaware of the world as a whole. If you stop any random person in the street and ask them to tell you where Afganistan or Iraq is on the map, steyrotypically they could not tell you. Many Americans that visit the UK think that the country is called England, with Scotland, Wales and Ireland being districts or states within England! They dont even realise what the EU is or its function, but ask a European and they can name many states in the US, tell you who the president is and more importantly, know where Afganistan and Iraq are!
The religious right are steyrotypically these type of people, concerned only with their world, not the actual world as a whole. They want things to be changed to reflect their religious beliefs which even I as a European know is in direct conflict of the constitution in which the US was founded. They want to impart their beliefs on a system that should hold (or shouldn't hold) no religious favouritism.
I am expecting quite a bit of backlash from this posting, but this is what I see and is pretty common opinion of the Americans from a European perspective.

Answer 2

Christians dislike it when the 10 commandments have to be taken down from places, even though they are the basis for most western laws. Jews should also be upset, since it seems like they should be more affected by them than Christians are.

Answer 3

Your example goes both ways as the other side puts up the argument not to have prayer in schools, not to have religious holidays, etc....From my view on the sidelines it looks pretty much that both sides are doing the same thing...so which hates America.....

The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result......

Answer 4

Here's the thinking:

I believe God says such and such. You don't, so you're wrong.
You shouldn't be wrong, so I'm going to make you be right.

And that's where Christians step over a line that God refuses to step over - Freedom of Choice.

Answer 5

think about what you are saying,there is no religion in school,Christ is being removed from Christmas which is what its all about to begin with,if nothing freedom of religion is being taken away from Christians,if someone wants to pray in school on there own they cant,one nation under God is being removed from the pledge of allegiance,visit Washington dc and see that our country was founded on religion,or are all those stone structures just lies

Answer 6

I don't agree with that at all and I am a Christian, I believe completly in separation of church and state. Its says so in the Bible (Matthew 22:21).

Stop calling yourself God, you are not Him.

Answer 7

Christians hate America because of freedom of religion.

Answer 8

They don't understand the term "freedom of religion". They think their religion is like food, that it's necessary for life. They don't understand that while it's food for them, it's poison to others. And to the vast majority of us, it's simply nothing at all.

Answer 9

This old canard about Christians forcing belief on others is rather tired.

Atheists are using the court system to ram their lack of belief down everyones throat.

Answer 10

Christians don't hate "others" or at least they know that hate is wrong.
