Default And the beat goes on...

....why do I have no use for religion? Here's a reason:


A Public Policy Polling (PPP) national survey conducted between February
20th and February 22nd of Republican voters, found that an astonishing
57 percent of Republicans want to dismantle the Constitution, and
establish Christianity as the official national religion. Only 30
percent oppose making Christianity the national religion.

Although the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment clearly states
that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion,” GOP voters want to cast aside that provision and impose
Christianity as the official American religion.

While a number of red states have passed statutes forbidding the
implementation of Islam-based sharia law in their states, Republicans
apparently have no misgivings about turning the United States into a
Christian theocracy. The poll’s crosstabs reveal that support for making
Christianity the official religion is strongest among Mike Huckabee (94
percent), Rick Perry (83 percent), and Ben Carson (78 percent) supporters.

Ben Carson is the preferred presidential candidate of those who want to
impose Christianity on the nation with 24 percent support. Mike Huckabee
and Scott Walker are tied for 2nd place at 16 percent. Scott Walker (35
percent) and Jeb Bush (22 percent) are the leading candidates among GOP
voters who do not want to establish a national religion.

The PPP survey also found that 2/3rds of Republican voters do not
believe in global warming, and 49 percent do not believe in the theory
of evolution. Not only do they wish to establish a national religion,
but it appears that their version of Christianity is one that is at odds
with the scientific consensus in climatology and biology.
