How threatening is the group of Christians in this country that want a theocracy?

Question

How serious is the Neo Conservative Christian movement that wants to take over the country. I watched Jesus Camp and these people claim that 25% of US citizens are with them? What will happen to non Chrisitans if they take over?

Answer 1

Hun...I hate to break this to you, but we HAVE a theocracy. Do not be fooled by a few rulings like no organized prayer in school or religious emblems in government buildings. Those are just smoke screens so you will not see that religion is running this country already. And its going to get worse...the religious right is a huge voter block...whoever gets their vote...wins elections period and the supreme court is already stacked in favor of the right. So, the rest of us (liberal Christians as well) are going to eat crap and die. GMA

Answer 2

We already have a de facto theocracy. There has been no movement yet to substantially change the constitution or the democratic system, because it works well for the majority of Christians as it is. A bit of tinkering has been under way, adding the word God here and there, proposing various insipid amendments. But so far the non-Christians aren't in any serious danger of losing whatever freedoms they have now.

I don't expect the alleged 25% of neo-con Christians to get bigger, and there is reason to believe that segment is getting smaller. They failed to prevent more moderate Christians from swinging to the democrat side, and to the environmental protectionist side.

But don't let your guard down any time soon.

Answer 3

If people like the Jesus Camp people managed to take over, I don't even want to think what might happen to some of us. Yikes. No better then any other extremist communistic type group.

Answer 4

To me that's a real frightening theory that fundamentalist christians would start up a theocracy in this united states. there's a undeniable group of christians whose targets are precisely that.I even have the internet internet site someplace in my prominent places. If i detect it i'm going to place up it. are you able to think of what they'd do to the standard public colleges. on the vivid factor it ought to probable backfire on them and create extra atheists.

Answer 5

I don't know about the group you are referring to, but I think any group of Christians who would want to turn the USA into a theocracy would be a fringe group who didn't understand the point of the New Testament message.

Answer 6

That is not going to happen. Relax. The constitution does not allow for a national religion. The ideas of the neoconservative Christians would not make it past the courts. Not even Bush would push their agenda.

Answer 7

The non-christians will persecuted like hell especially "muslims" because they claim muslims as moon-god worshipers...
the second people will be "the orthodox jews" because they claim "the jews are christ killer". However, they will praise the "jews for jesus organization". In america, they're the enemies of the jews but outside america in israel, they were hypocrites, saying that "we love the jews and they're god's chosen people ".

By the way, harry Potter is an enemy of God !!!

Answer 8

I'm christian, and I sure don't want those whacko's taking over. I don't believe for one moment that 25% of anyone would support them.

Answer 9

We fight the fight and keep voting them out of office as quickly as they are voted in.

The constitution prohibits the state mandating a religion.

Answer 10

I seriously doubt they will take over, but if they do I'm pretty sure it would be pretty horrible for everyone else.
