Well said. 100% agree.
If religion comes into play in a significant way here, it's going to be one giant clusterfuck
Obviously the majority of people are going to take it to mean that we're a "Christian Nation", but when I ask them what they think that means, they can't give an answer other than something along the lines of "people will turn to God" or something along those lines.
So right off the bat, every religion other than Christianity is going to be disenfranchised. Lovely, we're just going to rip that whole First Amendment Establishment Clause right out of the Constitution and wipe our asses with it.
But depending on how stupid the country gets over this whole "Christian Nation" stuff, it's going to be an EPIC clusterfuck when Catholics and Protestants start fighting over who the "True Christians" (there really needs to be a trademark on that term) are, thus who rules the country under the umbrella term of "Christianity".
I'm sure that's not going to cause any trouble at all. It's not like we have literally centuries of wars all over the European continent that was caused because of this stuff. It's not like it was one of the reasons our forefathers came here just to get away from this shit. (I need to point out that this is sarcasm, because it's inevitable that if I don't, some troglodyte will pop up telling me how I'm wrong.)
So apparently we're just going to reenact the Thirty Years War and The Eighty Years War and shit, let's just redo the Spanish Inquisition while we're at it. No one will expect that!
I'm sure the Protestants will win, due to numbers alone. (We'll just conveniently ignore that whole "mob rule" jibber jabber that people talk about when it concerns the Popular Vote vs Electoral College stuff).
So now the Protestants will duke it out amongst themselves as to which denomination are "True Christians". I'm sure that this will be settled peacefully. Because surely there has never been an issue of countries fighting over which particular flavor of their religion should be in charge. (This is sarcasm as well. Because, you know, that whole Sunni vs Shia stuff...).
It's going to be ever so much fun to see how this is going to turn out. Depending on who the top dog is when the dust settles, I suppose we'll all learn, after thousands of years of fighting over it, who the "True Christians" are.
So, yeah, excellent decision on making religion a divisive factor in the country. I'm sure that will not blow up in our faces at all. (Again, sarcasm.)
Fuck my life, this is going to be a goddamn nightmare.
