We have terrorism threats in the form of fundamentalist Islam's violent direct action against American interests. That's a real danger. We also have dogmatic threats in the form of right wing Christianity's subtle and indirect effect that undermine the spirit of the United States Constitution. That's a real danger as well.
What actually, at the end of the day is worse?

The two groups both pose a serious threat, though the RRWC is a more subtle one (though only slightly). We can only hope that:
1) The Middle East conflict will come to a reasonable end (unlikely).
2) The Christian Right will finally recognize the seperation between Chruch and State and leave the political arena alone.
Don't hold your breath. Even if you kill one head, two more will grow in its place...and they will be just as vicious.

right this is your answer. bypass forward and supply the factors to somebody else yet verify it out: i've got been an atheist residing in u . s . a ., a ninety p.c. theist (possibly approximately ninety p.c. of those are Christians so...eighty one p.c. Christian majority in u . s . a . ) for 40 years. under no circumstances as quickly as had to be bothered approximately getting hauled out into the streets and beheaded. Gays? In u . s . a . they'd lose lots of their equivalent rights (marriage, jobs, etc) yet in 'Sharia u . s . a .' they would be killed or bypass right into a heavily deep closet. women human beings's rights under Christian rule? The Mormons is with regard to the worst it gets. under 'Sharia u . s . a .' those comparable women all and sundry is taken care of like rubbish. So , no, this is not a remember of subtlety in any respect yet of Christianity being extra civilized than Islam. perhaps in 500 years, Islam will seize up yet i could fairly not supply u . s . a . or from now on international locations to Islam and 'wait and notice'. Islam ought to be destroyed. this is a maximum cancers and freedom and justice and equality and relatively each stable undertaking approximately humanity is in possibility as long as Islam is interior the international. relatively the only possibility Islam has to grow to be remotely respectable is the Islamic Reform circulate.

Since I don't know of any Christian preachers telling their congregation to blow up buildings and Muslims leaders are putting their people up to lots of that kind of thing and we have the hole in New York to prove it, I have to say islam is a far bigger threat than all the Billy Graham's in the world.
People seem to deny that it was mostly Christians who wrote the Constitution and if you look in our military cemeteries you will see that it has been mostly Christians who have died defending our Constitution. When I see as many atheist graves at Arlington as Christian graves I'll believe America is not a Christian country.
Jesus made America Akbar.

Distancing ourselves from God has caused the most direct harm to this country. For example: For the last few years now, we have been hearing about school shootings and teachers molesting children. It is almost a daily occurence now on the evening news. When did all this school stuff start happening? I'll tell you...Immediately after we voted to kick Gods Word and school prayer out of our classrooms. Immediately afterwards. How can this be? you ask!! Simple, when anyone or anything separates itself from God, such as people, nations, school - etc.
Whenever someone or something tells God to "Get Out" God graciously Gets Out as requested. OOPS!! Now a spirtual void has been created and demonic forces, once held at bay by God Almighty, are now free to enter into this void. God no longer offers His divine blessings or protection anymore. Another example was Hurricane Katrina, immediately after the USA pressured Israel to give up land - 2 days after to be exact, Gods judgment came upon the USA. God says that He will curse "Anyone" who tries to divide up the land of Israel. It is actually those who oppose God, who are ruining this great country we now live in.

Oh yes,Christians who want to stop abortion and try and preserve some sort of morality in this world are definitely on par with Muslims who blow up the World Trade Centre and stone suspected criminals in the form of Sharia law.

these are people who fail to realise their command from God. Allah says in the Quran that no one can force another to follow his/her ideologies.
Holy Quran -- At-Takwir | 29 verses | The Overthrowing
Sura #81 | Makkah
28 Unto whomsoever of you willeth to walk straight.
29 And ye will not, unless (it be) that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation.

The people who are content with the "live and let live" philosophy are the people doing the real harm. The social and moral harm done to society by these people is immeasurable.

They are both bad but without God, our country will not be blessed. Why do think America has lasted so long and is free? God. Without him, it all falls apart
