Are the U.S.A. going to be a religious nation? (christian nation)?

Question

and stop being a secular nation?

What is the difference then with muslim nations?

U.S.A. vs some muslim nations: isn't this also a kind of religious war?

Thx: "theocracy" was the word I was looking for :-)

Thx everyone: I have learned interesting things thx to you all. :-) I'll be more accurate in my next questions lol.

Answer 1

Certains Américains considèrent déjà que l'appartenance aux États-Unis d'Amérique est une religion en soit car elle fédère un ensemble de personnes derrière des convictions puissantes et intimes. Par ailleurs, si les présidents qui se succèdent à la Maison blanche sont tous de sensibilité évangélique alors, par la force des choses, les États-Unis deviendront une nation religieuse.

Answer 2

Even though we "officially" are supposed to have a separation of church and state, many laws are definitely influenced by christianity. Unfortunately, I see this happening more often as time goes by.

The reason I say unfortunately, is I don't believe it's right for one religion to have this kind of effect over our government, when we've expressed that Americans should be able to worship how they please. So, if the opinions and beliefs of ALL religions, eastern philosophies as well as western, can not influence our laws, then none should.

The only difference between the U.S. and the muslim nations is the U.S. is pretending we aren't influenced by religion. In reality, both are.

Answer 3

Muslims have freedom of religion in the USA They have 800 Islamic centers and over a million muslims. Who live and work in the USA.
Christians are murdered in Islamic countries. They have no churches and do not have freedom of religion.
That is the difference. No this war is about human freedoms.
Not which religion is better, or right. That should be left up to personal choice.

Answer 4

The USA is I believe 80% religious.

I am unsure what the dif is in the muslim nations.

And no it is not a religious war. It is that both governments have scared the people of each nation so bad that the other nation will come in with no other goals but to kill their people rule the world.

Answer 5

One's faith or core moral philosophy is a very personal thing. The founding fathers of the U.S.A. knew that and tried to install safeguards into their new governmental system to insure that the government would never try to force any particular religious system on its people. Unfortunately, many fundamentalist Christians are trying to force their beliefs onto everyone else to satisfy their own selfish need to feel superior. This is not what the founders intended. It's patently un-American.

Answer 6

NO the US will not become a Christian theocracy.. It is going the other way and has more of a chance of becoming muslim later on. England and a lot of europe is already close to becoming muslim..

Answer 7

if the U.S were to become a christian nation we would be violating the very principals of our country's foundation. the pilgrims left England in pursuit of religious freedom, so why would we set a national religion and start the cycle over? We are losing freedom quickly enough as is.

Answer 8

If the US becomes a Theocracy, I'm outta here. Unless, of course, it's "MY" religion that's running things. How would a Pagan Nation sound to you? *_*

Answer 9

If the USA doesn't get off it's ***, then you *WILL* bow to Islam or your head will roll. If you do not defend religious freedom, then you will lose it.

In Islam you must do as they say or you will be tormented or executed.

It is a religious war, yes. They are going to kill *you* if you don't adopt their religion.

America is in a defensive war...defense of freedom.

Answer 10

In social interaction the US is already very Christian. The required holidays, etc. are in connection with Christian holy days. The leaders in power are very fundamentalist which is focusing the decisons.
