I don't believe people should have to move because they don't agree with Christianity, but I get a little irritated with every buddy having rights except Christians. People get offended if we pray, if we read our Bibles in public, and if God is mention ANYWHERE or anytime. What about freedom of speech, and expression for Christians? All these new movements are screaming for their rights, at the same time trying to wipe Christianity out. This country was founded on "in God we trust", too bad we've gotten so far away from that.

The United States is a non-Christian country. It has no State religion. All religions are equal in the USA and none has precedence over any other. Check your First Amendment if you don't believe me.
There are many Christians who don't like some of the Christianity in the United States, particularly the television spruikers and the Old Testament Fundamentalists.

How could anyone not enjoy the special mix of cafeteria/show business approach to religion that christians have in the United States. All those televangelist that make millions of dollars and spend them on fantastic cars , houses, male prostitutes etc.... are wonderfull. The tragic show of pedophile priests, clinic bombers, comedians speaking in tongues and rolling on the floor. So unique, so much fun to watch ! It's the only country in the world where all this is taking place so why go somewhere else ?

I'm a Christian along with 80% of the population of the United States. Our faith, along with our language (English) hold our country together. Unfortunately, Christians have remained a silent majority too long and America might be on the road to becomming a secular nation which mirrors Europe, with its muslim problem. These animals, muslims, are dumber that rocks and crazier than any serial killers but run their mouths along with the idiotic and delusional secular progressives, and in the manner that the old saying goes "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." When our people begin to actively boycott, protest, and exercise these and other rights which our God and forefathers blessed us with, then these grease-balls will cease their ranting. It's a shame, but you can almost always count on the most pathetic, immoral, unworthy, and insane people to run their mouths the most in today's world. Hopefully, the United States, the country I love, will not follow the same route which the Weimar Republic took before falling into Nazism. Write your senators and fight back people!

I am a child of God, born again and proud of it, in a humble way.
Yet I do not think America is a Christian nation at all. It has Christian roots, it has been heavily influenced for the better by it but it is not officially a Christian nation. If anything I would consider it a pagan nation with some or possibkly many Christians in it. I am happy for its constitution and the way it is set up but Iook for the Heavenly Jerusalem, if you know what I mean.

It's not that people don't like Christianity.
It's that they don't like having it shoved down their throats. Not everyone wants to be subservient to people like Jerry Falwell, or to their authoritarian dogmas and doctrines, which many Christians are trying to force upon us all, by changing the law and even the Constitution if necessary.
It's that they remember that America is a democracy, not a theocracy.
It's that they don't want religion - any religion - dictated to them by power hungry, greedy extremists whether they're Christian OR Muslim.
Why don't Christian zealots go to Iran and be happy? That country is a perfect example of what the theocracy they desire does to a country and to people.
Or better yet, why not just live and let live? Believe what you want, but accept others for what they believe, too? Allow others to live like they want to, not according to your own dogmatic rules? Wouldn't that make for a much better world?

Most non-Christian countries will chop off your head for having a dissenting opinion. I can't, for the life of me though, figure out why they want to change the USA into a non-Christian country that will adapt the type of doctoral actions that they are fleeing from in the first place. Kind of like the Mexicans wanting to "take back the US and make it just like Mexico", go figure!

There's a difference between not liking Christianity and not liking the actions of some Christians. Besides, how egotistical one must be to assume one has more right to be an American than someone else.

First of all, America is not a 'Christian' country. It is the 'land of the free' or so it says. Live up to it. If people don't care about Christianity, that is their right. It is also their right to criticize it and follow another religion.

Hate to break it to you, but America is a country of many religions, and even non-religion. If you want to be in a place run on only Christian values, then you can go hunt it down someplace else....
