If it's prohibited by the constitution, why even ask the question?

Who would want to know?

Why?

Gil: Tardy, how do you feel about Alison?

Tardy: I love Alison!

Alison Kaiser: Tardy, how do you feel about ashtrays?

Tardy: ...I love ashtrays!

Which means it's being generated by the noise machine.

All-of-a-sudden-and-out-of-the-blue, I'm hearing "The bible is my constitution" everywhere.

Never even heard that phrase before a week ago.

Now, you can even Google articles about it.

It's a campaign.

the United States should be a Christian nation, run by the right kind of Christians. That's the thrust of dominionism for example. The theory is that the Founders, as God Fearing Men, assumed that the nation would always be run by God Fearing Men like themselves. Once you elect people who aren't God Fearing Men, the system breaks down (Obviously they don't really know much about how the constitution was written).

It bubbles up into mainstream discussion every so often, but it's been the belief of many Conservative Christians for years now.

Not sure

Like asking: "Does Obama really love America?"

a).- Yes, Obama loves America
b).- No, Obama does not love America
c).- Not sure

Asking the question plants a doubt in the mind about a topic that would not otherwise have been considered at all.

Constitution at all. There are many countries with an established national religion that are not theocracies, such as England, Denmark, Iceland....Church of England, Church of Denmark, Church of Iceland....not just something to put on the letterhead.
The US Constitution forbids the establishment of a national Church or religion.

I know what I think -- it's because they're theocrats. Why else would a person *want* to establish a state religion, where none currently exists? But maybe they've got some other reason.

The international coalition will start bombing these crusaders soon I hope

Which brand of Christianity? Methodist, Presby, Baptist, Catholic? Which version of the Bible will we refer to? Has any one of them thought about just how messy such a thing would be?

I think there is more than one

They're deliberately ignorant on both counts. Or they're lying. Hard to tell the difference when it comes to Republicans.

I can't find it, but I've heard a theory that because we never established a national religion that's why we're more religious than other countries. When you combine the church and state, people turn off religion entirely.
