Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

What he really thinks: Trump mocks Christians, calls them "fools" and "schmucks" - Salon.com
Cohen says "profoundly immoral" Trump labels Christianity "bulls**t" and is consumed by a "lust for wealth"

@Strandjunker The extreme right has some distorted belief that they are responsible for the actions of others (their brand of morality imposed on others)...until they are asked to help support those who cannot support themselves.
At that point they completely reverse their position and say others have to pull their weight especially those who have no arms or legs to pull anything.

@Strandjunker Emo Philips has a long joke I don’t have the space to recite here but the general idea is that religion is schismatic and we get violent about it. Forcing the government to get violent about enforcing the religious schism of the minute is a well tested bad idea. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2005/sep/29/comedy.religion
@Lyle @Strandjunker it really is one of the best jokes ever. I have repeatedly & without shame stolen it to make his point. I credit Emo

@Strandjunker I don’t mind christianity, but something has me worried about some of its followers.
In the few occasions I have discussed religion with a christian and I inform them that I’m an atheist, this question has popped up, in one way or another, multiple times:“If you don’t believe in heaven and hell, what’s keeping you from [insert violent crime here]?
Yeah, you should hang on to your religion and never question it.

@Strandjunker I know this is probably an Iranian bot account, WIRED reported on you previously. Still, it's good you're giving Americans something to believe in.

@kaito02 @Strandjunker yeah while i was reading the post i was like "huh this definitely applies to my country" then i reread it to realise no specific nation was even mentioned (none in their bio either)
perhaps they meant it in a more general sense? referring to society in general -

@Strandjunker You’re free to be a Christian, or anything else. Or none of the above.

And "Christianity" is not a monolith, rather it has many - sometimes hostile - factions.
In fact, it's because of intra-Christian rivalries that America was explicitly founded without a religion.
(And yes, the colonies had other, non-Christian residents and *still* didn't even define a broad Christian mandate)
