Who would want to go to ChristoFacist heaven if it is going to be full of Fundie assholes? All my real friends are going to the Christian hell and I would rather hang out with them anyway. I also keep hoping for the Rapture if it gets rid of the Fundies, which would make a heaven on earth.

I find it offensive that so many of those interviewed - even the more âtolerantâ ones - seem to feel that having religious faith is a prerequisite to implementing policies that help the poor and afflicted. I am an atheist, and I hope Iâm compassionate enough to want everyone to have a strong social safety net, for which I am happy to pay additional taxes.

What, like flee to Canada during the Vietnam draft⌠I know many many people who did that and almost to a man they say that that was a major mistake. @steviedee111 best you donât speak about something you know squat about.

I think a lot of this depends on what someone means by religion. To me, growing up in the black church, I think of religion shaping public policy in more of the vein of Rev. Dr. Barber where âthe least of theseâ matter most. The Jesus I grew learning about healed the sick and fed the hungry without regard to how they got sick or why theyâre hungry. The church was supposed to be about serving the community, helping addicts get clean, keeping at risk kids off the streets, supporting families and parents to give their kids a better life, and jobs programs. Thatâs not to say that there arenât plenty of prosperity gospel and fire and brimstone black churches. There are. But even they tend to be worldâs different than the white evangelical churches that are destroying this country.

I would honestly vote for an atheist who believes you just have to be good and do right by others because thatâs just what youâre supposed to do with your time on Earth before I would support someone who thinks they have to do good or face judgment in the afterlife. I want leaders who want to do good because doing good is the right thing as opposed to those who feel they must do good to avoid consequences.

Trump isnât religious in the least, and sentient Americans know it. Moreover, the tight embrace by white âevangelicalâ leaders of the irreligious Don the Con is widely seen by voters of all ideologies that the religious faith of politicians means nothing.
As many predicted in 2016, organized religion is killing itself by supporting Trump.

People are fleeing to Canada to avoid volunteering to enlist in the military?
Donât neatly align? Trumpâs behavior doesnât even messily align with Christian values. Trumpâs the guy who runs to the corner to get Satan a pack of cigarettes. Okay, lumbers to the corner, not runs, but still âŚ
All Iâm saying is: AP really knows how to turn mealy-mouthed into a literary art form.

That is a convenient door for religious (and other) demagogues to open, barrel through, and begin to exercise control.
I find it interesting that when mankind began to organize itself into settlements at the outset of the initial Agricultural Revolution some 10,000 years ago that religion became formalized as a way to control the masses. I have commented many times that correlation is not causation, but the correlation here is pretty strong.
