Idea - The No-Theocracy Amendment [View All]

I had an idea. We need to start a campaign to tell our people in Congress that America will not support a Theocracy.

I think everybody will agree with me that the increase of participation in Government, the Armed Services, etc. by Bigoted Extremist Religious Bodies is downright frightening. Many religious bodies do great work. But, there is no doubt that Democracy is being compromised by Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, James Dobson, D. James Kennedy, the Christian Reconstructionists, and more.

My proposal is quite complicated. Please suggest anything you want.

1. There will be no official religion anywhere in the United States.
2. While Separation of Church and State is quite a controversial subject. There is middle ground in this. No religion will be favored over the other religions that people may have and no religion will be excluded. Religious bodies should not be funded, and bigoted groups should not be included in the government in all (Should the KKK have a lobby to tell Congresspeople what to do?). (Pat Robertson received $500,000 from Bush's Faith Based Initiatives, this is one of the things this would stop)
3. Religious Discrimination - Not allowed
4. (Something I think is important, may not make sense at first, but bear with me) Religious bodies will never have the ability to prosecute anybody. (They don't have this ability now, nor will they ever if this Amendment becomes reality)
5. Atheists. Atheists will be enabled the full protections of everybody else, they will be able to run for office anywhere in the United States, and they can profit from #2 of this Amendment by making Atheistic groups.

This is just a draft, please make suggestions.

Please pay attention, the threat of Theocracy is real. We need to stop it.
