oh please....
first of all, our government was founded on the idea that nobody can cram their religion down anyone else's throat, so no town or state anywhere should be allowed to talk about anything in the name of any god or religion. and even so, they still do. christian holidays are made national holidays, and the name of god is on our money, and in our pledge of allegience. and, if i owned a big store chain, i'd want to get as many ppl to shop there as possible, so i'd avoid seeming like i belonged to any religion to try to get the most shoppers i could possibly get.
i bet you'd be singing a different tune if you werent christian. if you were shinto, buddhist, muslim, jewish, etc etc. and most of the ppl i know that arent christians still dont care. a day off from work is a day off from work.
the USA is an amazing place, but to be totally truthfully honest, when our founders said "all men are created equal", they meant "all white christian land owning males who own slaves".

Because the 80% that is Christians don't realize that they are the ones who can see to it that God does stay in the culture. Most of them are too afraid to stand up and fight for God.

if your talking about australia we are so stupid that we let our even more stupid government let the minority groups rule our country.where not allowed to even have an opinion just in case we upset someone.ppl dont even have to talk our language never lone follow our customs or religion,thats why the real australian isn't far away from extinction.i always thought the saying was in rome do what the romans do in this country its in australia the australians will do what you do.our once great country is being ruined by all these minority groups and their ideals, customs and religions.and i know most australians agree but havn't got the balls to stand up and be counted.

Because not everyone has the same religious beliefs within Christianity (Catholics, Protestants, Jehova's Witness, etc.). America was born from the escape of religious persecution, for example the Puritans escaping Anglican Britain and settling in North America. And of course, persecution of minorities leads to negative changes in culture and government.

There aren't enough spiritual minded Christians who are well acquainted with their Bible or involved enough to bother as they are asleep in Zion. The devil never slumbers but stays busy. A little sleep, a little folding of the hands, and one day we'll find all the laws are changed and the wheat and tares will be separated as we find out who is willing to actually suffer and/or die for speaking and believing the gospel. May God heal our backsliding and help us to watch and wait and be working while it's day.

at first this sounds appalling to christians, and even people who believe in freedom of speech and religion, and human rights,
however, after some thought , perhaps, God does want Himself taken out of the culture,He does work His wonders,surrounded with mystery, His ways are not our ways,
i am not saying this is wrong or right, but i do think God does have His hand in all of it

I'm Christian and i do not need a government, a store, school or human culture to make my beleive in Christ true.
For God ,cultures and nation have no meaning. Salvation is a individual thing.

Deception from satan, slothfulness and unlearned in the things of God. But most of all I feel it is a lack of nation wide prayer. Prayer can change anything. We are so consumed with distractions of satan(riches, power,etc) the we as children of God are not prayer minded. Paul told us that we should pray without ceasing. the devil is a roaring lion going around seeking whom he can devour. He comes to kill, steal and to destroy. May God Bless

It state sin romans that there will be messengers who will preach christ but many will not accept the word.However we should not critisize man nor judge them but instead lift them up.Every man will bow their knees to god. and worship.
