Free exercise of religion is an absolute American assimilation. I don't see how that's any different than churches that do live venomous snake handling in their service.
Neither is for me. Both are constitutionally protected.
Islam delenda est. It's not just a religion.
Again, not my jam but if we want Christianity forced into the public square, others forms of worship come with it.
So we have to force religion out of the public square and into the closet..
And let radical secular liberalism dominate the public sphere and all manner of educational & public-shared institutions.
Funny…I don't remember reading that in the Declaration of independence, the Constitution of the United States, or any of our founding documents or State Constitutions
No. You have to accept that all religions are treated equally under the law. We can't prioritize one over the other.
Then you have to accept that people don't lose their right to practice their faith at the school house door or in the public square
Despite what you might think there is no Constitutional right to force religion into the closet…or a requirement to force secular liberalism on immigrants or natives
It doesn't matter to me. I remember it always being that way. As a kid, the Jewish kids were Jewish, and the Jehovah's Witnesses were Jehovah's Witnesses. We didn't have the state put the Ten Commandments in each classroom. It was ok.
You have every right to critique government involvement in the schools (but they are public governments run after all)
But we threw out religion from the public institutions in the 1960s (without democratic concent by the way)
And replaced it with a new religion (or moral-faith system)
We don't have blank slate institutions and we never will
We didn't throw religion out of schools. We stopped authorities from forcing their version of religion onto the rest of us.
I was once on a plane from Dallas to Pittsburgh, sitting next to a Jehovah's Witness. For three hours, he Watch Towered the hell out of me. (Full Flight), ignoring my multiple requests to leave me alone. How is that fair in a school setting?
Imagine I'm your son's Muslim Football coach. Would you think it's ok if I Allah'd him to death for playing time?
