Our country was founded on separation of church an state so it ought to stay that way. No one has tried to stop Christians or anyone else from practicing their religion so they shouldn't try to force one religion on the entire country. America was intended to be a haven for ALL races and religions which is why separation of church and state must remain.
I realize most Christians seem to believe the country was founded by Christians as a Christian country but none of the founding fathers thought so. They were not Christians as we know Christians. They mentioned God but so does every religion. Christians have grasped onto the mention of God and said "Aha! See? It's a Christian country". but they're mistaken. All you need to do is read some of those early documents and it's completely clear. Most mentions of God like in the Pledge of Allegiance were added much, much later. Even the "In God we Trust" was added later. This is not and never was a Christian country. Politics and religion do not mix nor should they. Revisionist history is a favorite hobby of the Republicans.

Well, Christians are the only ones that seem to really want to push their agenda into politics. They seem to not get the whole idea behind separating the two to begin with.
I don't see why this would change any if a non-christian was elected president. There are still enough people out there that try to push for things like prayer in schools and putting the 10 commandments up on the supreme court, doesn't matter if the president isn't one of them, we still need the rule.

The president would not ought to be a Christian, basically basically approximately each and every candidate has been or is a Christian. besides the shown fact that a candidate is possibly to assert they seem to be a Christian on condition that approximately fifty two% of individuals have pronounced they might not vote for a valid candidate until eventually they have been Christian. that's referred to as the religion card. besides the shown fact that no religious base restricts a candidate's skill to run for government. you ought to in all probability be talking extra with regard to the 9 states that limit an Atheist from retaining public place of work instead.

I will insist on the Constitution being followed, no matter who is president.
I can only speak for myself.

I hope not, unless it's a murderous muslim. They like to strap explosives to children. I've never heard of a Christian or Jew doing that.

Show me in the Constitution where it says 'seperation of church and state'.
It doesn't.
It's Liberal Folklore
