Fighting For and Against Theocracy

SURVEYS CONSISTENTLY INDICATE that a majority of registered Republicans want to turn the United States into a "christian nationalist" country, because they embrace the "Christian Nationalist" doctrine. This is alarming. Christian Nationalism, in essence, is the belief that the United States of America was founded by white Christians as a Christian nation based upon Christian vallues, was always intended to be a Christian nation, and that the Crhitian religion should therefore be the "official" religion of the U.S., and the country's legal system, ane all other forms of public afffairs, should be based on Christian law and values. Aginn, alarming, alrming as hell, as such a country would be, anywhere. WE do not want theocricies, and we do not want countries, particularly the U.S.A, to base their political and legal systems on any religion, especially Christianity. Christian nationasim must be defeated and destroyed by any means possible, which is yet another good reason to defeat and destroy the Republican party, at the ballot box. The Unitd States was designed to be a country of religious freedom, tolerance, and diversity, governed by a secular representative democracy (republic), period. Christian national, in its current, militant form, has long been with us, of course, among various religious groups, but in its current incarnation it started becoming popular in the nineteen seventies and eighties, with the rise of Christian conservatism, that dreaded intermingling of religion and politics, so demonstrably harmful to America. The insinuation of Christian vallues and law into American government would spell disaster for the gay and transdenger communities; homosexuality would once again be a illegal, a criminal acts, as it was back in our benighted nineteen seventies and before. Obviously, transgenderism and abortion would be totally criminalized, with harsh punishments for offenders. American culture, thrust back into the dark ages, in the twenty first century.Only about ten percent of the American peope are christian nationalists, but nearly twenty percent are favorable to it, extremely alarming. No intelligent, well educated person who is emotionally and mentally healthy cuould be a Christian nationalist. In the context of American society, values, culture, and history, Chritsian nationalism is bonkers, as should be evident to all. Among the general public a high percentage of Americans believe that their country was founded to be a deliberately "Christian" country, upon Christian values. Somehow that conservative, pseudo patriotic ideal, extremly historically inaccurate, endures down through the generations, among Christian conservatives, who prefer their mythology to reality, not only in American historical, political and religious studies, but also in areas like climate change and presidential election results. Christian nationalism is merely another of many falsehoods and fantasies embraced by the American right wing.
