Republicans Flood Feeds With 'God Bless America' Slogans to Demand Patriotic Loyalty

Mr. Huizenga ~ Please comment. Thank you. "...for many years now, religious right activists have claimed {the National Day of Prayer} to propagate the myth that the United States was founded as a Christian nation. Private religious groups like the National Day of Prayer Task Force organize events which are {directed toward} fundamentalist evangelical Christians. These events often involve elected officials and have taken place at government buildings such as courthouses and state capitols.~~~~~Americans of every religion are free to express their faith in whatever way is appropriate for them. But the National Day of Prayer inserts the government into religious practice in a way contrary to our constitutional values. We cannot observe the National Day of Prayer without acknowledging its problematic nature. For both faith and freedom to flourish in this country, the government must not weigh in on matters of faith but be guided by the constitutional principles which restrict it from doing so.” ~ Interfaith Alliance

Faith has always been important to many Americans, and people should absolutely be free to pray and practice their religion however they choose. But America is also a nation founded on religious freedom, which means the government represents Christians, Jews, Muslims, atheists, and everyone else equally. The strength of this country comes from protecting that freedom for everyone, not tying patriotism or national identity to any one religion.

The United States of America was formed as a secular nation by the founding fathers. Freedom of religion was one of the original American values, and the first amendment of the Constitution established separation of church and state.

It is inspiring to see thousands of Americans coming together in prayer praise and patriotism to honor our nation and rededicate America to God as we look toward the next 250 years of freedom strength and faith. 🇺🇸🙏

My grandpa used to say America was held together by two things: the Constitution and the prayers of grandmothers. Still true. 🙏🇺🇸

Our Founding Fathers weren't "Christians". They were dentists and religious skeptics that believed in a higher power, but didn't want the religious struggles that had fractured Europe for the previous 400 years occurring in the United States. That's why they strongly believed in both religious freedom and the separation of church and state

America 250 occasion to reflect on equality as a God - given right , Bishop Barron says

Article 11 of the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli, signed by President John Adams and ratified unanimously by the Senate, states that "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion". It was intended to reassure Tripoli that the U.S. was not a Christian power and would not base foreign policy on religious conflict.

You don't need God to be a strong nation. You need humility, integrity, empathy, and respect for the dignity and worth of others.

Founding fathers were against the inclusion of religion into our democratic republic. Respect their wishes. And respect our Constitution and our rights.

Some Americans do. Some don't. Some call to many Gods. The most important thing about religion and America is that we have FREEDOM OF RELIGION here. Call to God in prayer - or don't. You are FREE TO DO EITHER.

Faith has always been important to many Americans, and people should absolutely be free to pray and practice their religion however they choose. But America is also a nation founded on religious freedom, which means the government represents Christians, Jews, Muslims, atheists, and everyone else equally.
