...vote for Republican candidates:

A majority of Republicans nationally support establishing
Christianity as the national religion, according to a new Public Policy
Polling survey released Tuesday.

The poll by the Democratic-leaning firm found that 57 percent of
Republicans “support establishing Christianity as the national religion”
while 30 percent are opposed. Another 13 percent said they were not sure.

The irony is rich. Many Republican activists like to describe themselves
as “Constitutional Conservatives,” but under the Constitution – at least
in this country – the very idea of a national religion is antithetical
to the American tradition. Indeed, the opening words of the Bill of
Rights explicitly say, “Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion.”

There’s nothing “conservative” about a theocratic agenda in which one
faith tradition is endorsed by the government above all other belief
systems.

But this week, it wasn’t just the poll results that highlighted the
problem. A county Republican Party in Idaho pushed a resolution that
intended to identify Idaho as a “formally and specifically declared a
Christian state.” One local activist told reporters, “We’re a Christian
community in a Christian state and the Republican Party is a Christian
party.”

The resolution was ultimately defeated by the state party, but the fact
that it was considered, and enjoyed a fair amount of support, was
unsettling for supporters of church-state separation.

Strange as it might seem to you, I agree this was a dumb idea


It's not just a dumb idea for Idaho. Establishing christianity as the
national religion is an idea the majority of GOPers favor, and it isn't
the only bad exclusionary idea Republicans want to push onto everyone.

I agree we should not have a national religion but if the citizens of
Idaho want one, it is their business.
The 1st amendment says "congress" not the local government.
I don't see you in Idaho anyway. What difference does it make to you?



Creep. Not you. The legislation. If it passes in Idaho, it's going to be
on the agenda in Texas, South Carolina, Kansas, et cetera.

Republican exclusionism. It sucks.

Those are all places you say you will never go to anyway. What's it to
you?
I am sure they feel the same way about how Maryland infringes on your
2d amendment rights.
That is why we are 50 states and not one monoculture.

Maryland is infringing on my 2nd Amendment rights? How?
