The whole American thing of using your kids as political adverts, making them wear slogans, and indoctrination at an early age into things they shouldn't be thinking about, is one of the many insane things about America.
Relegion does this everywhere though, not really seeing the difference.
It makes politics a quasi-religion, which is a dangerous thing.
Religion exists to influence politics and society.
It's a control mechanism for its members and a tool of power for its owners.
The only Religion that isn't inherently harmful is private, non organized religion.
The United States is the only country left where children aren't guaranteed human rights.
Have you met kids, though?
