It has nothing to do with Ronny's battle with Disney. Reread what you posted @Sighlass :
It has everything to do with his battle... and I brought up something you just paraphrased and didn't bother to post the whole of because it didn't suit your argument.
FWIW, "honoring" and "embracing" are not the same as forcing behavior using the strong arm of the government.
I have an old Probate Judge book from my family (1900s) that included some local small town court cases... Spitting in public, cursing around women, drunken behavior, were some of the charges. So I disagree, morality in the US was based on a Christian background and backed up with laws. Thomas Jefferson wrote the 1786 Act for religious freedom in the Virginia...
Well aware that Almighty God hath created the mind free, that all attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burthens, or by civil incapacitations, tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy and meanness, and are a departure from the plan of the Holy Author of our religion, who, being Lord both of body and mind, yet chose not to propagate it by coercions on either, as was in his Almighty power to do...
The above contains four clear and unambiguous acknowledgments of God... Lets see...
Holy Author of "OUR" religion"... Jefferson made several such references throughout his time... even up until his final State of the Union address...
]Until the Constitution of the United States is repealed, we remain a Constitutional Republic based on the the rule of law, not the passions of zealots from any part of the political spectrum, including conservatives. We are not a Christian Theocracy. Try and understand the difference.
We are not to establish one religious sect over others. We are strongly founded as a Christian nation, try and understand the difference (<---to throw your snear back at you).
You are starting to sound like a leftist that cheers when schools don't allow Christian Valedicitorians to mention God. The founders honored God at most every chance. Giving way to the left using legislation against "hate" against everything they wanted glorified (homosexuality/abortion). How can government make a "Pride month" without also stepping on religious freedoms of normal people. The banner of "Civil Rights" made it where a person's own business could not discriminate due to religion or race... Was it reasonable to to say the government shall be the conscience of the individual? Does that accord with principles of freedom of religion? Does the right to practice a religion include the right to believe that a religion confers character benefits upon those that embrace it?
Jefferson once talked about how proud he was that the local county court house offered it's doors to four religious sects (one weekend per month) to use.
Me thinks you read too much ACLU.
