Muslims should not be able to impose their laws on anyone including other Muslims. The US is a not a Muslim country. It's a republic and a place of religious freedom, which includes the freedom from any particular religion where it imposes itself.
NGL, I'm down with Christian nationalism. The only problem is which denomination of Christian? Which is where the freedom if religion actually came from. You're free to practice any denomination of Christianity, but not meant to be a Chistian/muslim/Buddhist/jewish/whatever society.
Where does the US Constitution mention anything about Christianity at all, much less that it is the only religion allowed?
And if that is what it was supposed to mean, why are there no laws outlawing other religions? Why have other religions been able to be practiced here, since before America was a free country?
When I was in school as a child, freedom of religion, was always spoken about by my teachers in the context of the various Christian denominations. There was never mention of any other faith. Only Christianity.
What people can't understand, or won't understand, is that "religion", in our founding documents, means Christianity.
Everything else was pagan, heathen or false religion.
People take our current inclusive use of the word "religion" and read it back into the founding documents. The founders had no interest in establishing anti-Christs like Judaism or Islam. They would have viewed that as madness upon which you can't build a nation.
Yes, I support this approach,
Muslims should not be able to impose their laws on anyone including other Muslims. The US is a not a Muslim country. It's a republic and a place of religious freedom, which includes the freedom from any particular religion where it imposes itself.
Why would this ever be debatable?
