In Idiot America we have something called the Establishment Clause in our Bill of Rights. This clause requires the complete separation of church and state. Christian assholes would like to throw out our Bill of Rights so they can have a Christian theocracy. They will never get away with it. However they did get some of their stupidity into our government. We have worthless preachers who pray to the Magic Man at the opening ceremonies of Congress. The stupid, it burns.

James Madison, the author of the First Amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting any law respecting an establishment of religion, was also an author of Article VI, which states unambiguously that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust.” His later Detached Memoranda make it very plain that he opposed the government appointment of chaplains in the first place, either in the armed forces or at the opening ceremonies of Congress. “The establishment of the chaplainship to Congress is a palpable violation of equal rights, as well as of Constitutional principles.”
