Letting Religion run things is how you get the dark ages again. They were called dark for a reason.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They're called dark ages because there's not much record about it.
Because only the church was allowed to write history.
No, the same goes for archeologic findings.
It's believed that some king shifted years to extend his reign on paper or get a favourable century.
Kings aren't good either, especially when they think they are a genius.
What does that have to do with anything?
It just means it might not be 2025 but way earlier right now.
As a European watching the news, sometimes I have to remind myself that lots of other countries also go to shit from time to time, it just doesn't get reported on as much. We get a massively disproportionate amount of reporting from the US as a result of how the English-speaking internet works.
In fact even writing this I just noticed the sidebar's description of the community I'm posting in, guess I should probably just block it (no offence).
Ain't no hate like christofacist love...
I hope no one kills these people for their obvious crimes.
My wife yells "purge night" a lot while watching the news.
Christofacisism
Religion is a belief. School curriculum is made based on facts and experiments over time. They should not be combined.
Religion is made up fairytales that adults still believe in.
Honesty a guy praying to Jebus is no different than a guy shooting hadoukens from his wrists.
Yet one is called spiritual while the other is called childish.....
It’s funny that they clearly aren’t considering that religions other than theirs also exist. That’s the whole point of the Separation of Church and State. Your arbitrary religious views have no place in government or governance or public spaces… because others have other beliefs, many of which likely stand in stark contrast to yours, and the permutations are endless. Leaving your religious biases out of public life allows us all to coexist.
But lets ignore that and see what happens. Looking forward to The Satanic Temple having a presence in all public schools. Maybe muslims can get the Five Pillars and Buddhists can get the Noble Truths… and we’re just getting started.
They're not ignoring it, they're fully aware, and it's the whole point. They want an official state religion to suppress all others. They've been perfectly willing and able to blatantly ignore facts, evidence, and existing law and jurisprudence to benefit one religion over all others.
Oh goody! We are one step closer to sharia law!
This part is both mind blowing and hilarious. Not too long ago they were screeching that "they are trying to make everything sharia law!"
Then they do this, with absolutely no sense of irony. The dumb runs so deep that its turning to magma.
The same idiots cheering this on would gaslight me and try to tell me there is "no such thing as xtian Shariah Law" when I'd point out that the talibangelicals very much want xtian Shariah Law here and have been pushing for it for as long as I've been alive.
I know better. Just because (of course) they don't call it Shariah Law doesn't mean it isn't the exact same fucking thing.
The only reason they hate conservative Muslims so much is that game recognizes game, and let's face it, if you change up a bit of doctrine, Muslim extremists want almost the exact same things as xtian extremists, and the xtianists have FATWA ENVY like you would not believe. They are very pissed off that more of their flock are not murderous thugs, too.
I wasnt going to have kids and the world keeps enforcing my decisions. If I had to deal with religion aimed at my kid I'd actually lose it 💀
