They want a system that doesn't function for even the most morally perfect of people while explicitly expecting EVERYONE to meet that standard regardless for the sake of it. *It doesn't matter what you do and don't do, it's purely about hierarchy and those who arbitrarily have power just being better than you for the sake of it.* *_They literally just want others to suffer more than them._*

@@bartolomeothesatyr Let me add a few more so you can better defend against people like that. “The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or Mohammedan Nation.” John Adams (American statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, Founding Father & 2nd president) The 1st Amendment's Establishment Clause prohibits the government from making any law, “respecting an establishment of religion.” This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion. Constitution Article VI Supreme Law - Clause 3 Oaths of Office "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." This means nobody is ever required to swear on the Bible, or any other religious book for an oath of office. They may choose a religious book, but none is required. “...the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion." -Treaty of Tripoli - June 7, 1797. Signed by President John Adams & Ratified UNANIMOUSLY, by the United States June 10, 1797 ....only a few times in history the Senate unanimously agreed on anything. “This would be the best of all possible Worlds, if there were no Religion in it” -John Adams )Letter from John Adams to Thomas Jefferson, 19 April 1817) "The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter." -Thomas Jefferson (Letter from Jefferson to John Adams, 11 April 1823) "The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason." -Benjamin Franklin (Poor Richard's Almanac) “The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion....and as this is the case with Christian theology, it is therefore the study of nothing.” ― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason (1794)

They see parental rights as superseding children's rights in every situation after birth. Not that I'm saying every Evangelical abuses their children but homeschooling and ignorance around sexual issues certainly makes it a lot easier.

Promoting homeschooling and private schools sounds bad enough, but they will revoke that when they realise they can indoctrinate children better in public schools once they have changed what is taught.

I was born in Papua New Guinea. Even as a child going to Sunday School, I could see that it was not okay to be telling the Papuans that they should be Christians. The various tribes in Papua New Guinea had their own beliefs before white people went there. If the Christian god was what they said it was, it would already be known by the beautiful Papuan people who were just fine the way they were to me.

Actually good comparative religion studies do show that things which resemble Christian gospel ideals show up in various indigenous religions. The Christian missionary should be seeking to impart focus, not fog, to such peoples, by understanding the beliefs of the peoples and explaining the improvement in perspective that the Lord brings. That's why a classic missionary song goes "We've a story to tell to the nations." It's often not the ideals that are so bad; it's the lack of a solid back story to believe and the consequent spiritual weakness, despite the ideals, in trying times. So why care about the Papuans if they've got some small clue? Well even on earth getting a bigger clue is better, but also on earth is the stage whose losses and victories will project into everlasting life. This is like restoring an artwork. Part of it may be gorgeous, but part of it may be quite worn away. The restorer will make the whole thing look great.

The homeschooling thing is a BIG one. I live in a state with practically zero homeschooling oversight. All that accomplishes is protecting child abusers. I essentially had no schooling under the guise of “homeschooling”. I have young elementary age kids now and it sucks that I basically don’t know about anything they are learning. I was never taught any of it. Homeschooling protects abusers from having their kids in front of mandatory reporters. I understand there are some situations that it is in the child’s best interest, but I know from personal experience - that is not the case for most of us.

I am sorry for your experience, nonetheless, that is a very strong statement, and as someone who is homeschooled I have seen the opposite myself. I was homeschooled because I kept getting abused in the public school system and they covered it up because "there was nothing physically overt therefore it wasn't actually abuse". The public school system was holding me back and I was homeschooled and I excelled and was ahead of my piers. Plus I have heard of many cases of abusive parents who still send their kids to public school where the abuse is not seen. I am sympathetic that abuse sucks, and that your parents withholding education from you is another form of abuse, however, that points to a problem with the way homeschooling is observed not with homeschooling in of itself just like how my experiences do not mean the public school is invalid in of itself.

Many home schooled children want to go to public school in adolescence since that's where band classes, football, other sorts, and hanging out with friends are.

If you read the project 2025 contract part of it is doing away with denominations, and having one state church like Christian Nationalism promotes. This means churches would not just be able to teach whatever they want like currently, and these people from what I understand don't even want regular people to be allowed to read the Bible. So nobody is winning here except for big businesses and the government.

@@Theo_Skeptomaisee, the problem is that they worded everything in the manifesto to sound appealing, but what these actions would actually do is cause harm to a vast majority of the population. It would take away quality education and dismantle public schools, making it so only the wealthy would be able to afford to send their kids to school. Then, that education would intertwined with the flavor of Christianity the people in charge decide should be taught as fact. It would turn a lot of people in this country into criminals due to things outside of their control, and make millions of Americans homeless and unable to find work due to legalized discrimination. And then the homeless population would be put in prison. California has already been putting their homeless in prison, rather than address the disparity between cost of housing and low wages. Most of their homeless people work. Some work 3 jobs and can't afford a place to live. When they get arrested for being homeless, now you're taking those people out of the workforce, too, and taking otherwise law-abiding citizens and given them a criminal record that will make it even more difficult to get a job or a place to live. A system like this will eventually turn every American into a convicted criminal. Do we want to have our entire populace in prison, being forced to work for no pay?

I would hate to have my demise turned into another warning about knowing god before your death and have been thinking about what might be the alternative. What kind of atheist message could be shared at my funeral that could still give my family comfort. lol. Like don’t worry he’s not in hell! It’s all made up “what does an atheist funeral look like? I think it would be a very interesting topic and would love to possibly see a video from you about this in the future

An atheistic funeral is just a funeral with the lack of religious undertones. It’s a time to reflect on the life of the person, who they were, and the (hopefully) good deeds they have done for other and the world at large. It is also a time to reflect on ourselves, as this is our one and only life. For the person being lowered into the ground lived life how they wanted to, with few regrets. Will we do the same? Have we been living with few regrets? When death comes for us will we cower and look back on our choices with self-loathing? Or will we follow their example, grab death by the balls, and say “I am ready”?

It’s a celebration. Of your life. Of the person you were. About how people were affected by you. At my atheist funeral, there will be loud dance music. Obnoxious Singing and laughing. Lots of Good food. Telling stories. My people comforting each other. Then, everyone gets a bit of my ashes (if they want) to spread anywhere they have fond memories of me.

There's a lot of options for an atheist funeral. My family is all atheists. At my grandpa's funeral some years back, we had music and speeches and a slideshow of photographs from his life. He was a musician and a lively guy, so there was quite a bit of humour sprinkled in as well. My father gave a speech and talked about the way grandpa's children and grandchildren all resemble him in different ways - basically how he lives on in us. Dad also mentioned in his speech how our indigenous religion would have viewed life and death before christianity took over, which was interesting. I think it was a good choice, because even though my family doesn't share a religion, we do share a culture, and in times of mourning it's important to point out that you're not alone, you've never been.

I’m now an atheist but I went to a Christian high school. I consider myself very fortunate that the academics at this school were excellent and I got a good education that prepared me for college. My biology teacher taught everything except evolution (though I think she skimmed over the basic concept of it). I’m very aware that many aren’t as well rounded or even accredited. I graduated in 1994 but I distinctly remember there being a push towards the school voucher system back then as well. I shudder to think what will happen to kids that live in low income areas without a public school system in place. Yeah private schools won’t have bus service or free lunches. They probably don’t even have mandatory reporting of child abuse either. I mean, they believe every child should be raised by the people that conceived them so obviously they don’t care if that child is in an unsafe environment. The whole thing churns my stomach and it’s surprising how many people have never heard of this.

They're thinking a lot. It's just that both their goals and their methods are stupendously indefensible. Cruel, selfish, ridiculous, immoral, and unconstitutional. Fascism never makes logical sense. It relies on incessant lies and fearmongering.

Way back before social media was a thing at all, I had a girl ask me in a public high school (as she asked everyone in class) if I believed in God. I told her no. She hounded me asking every question invading my beliefs for the rest of class since we had a free day after a test. Later that month, a guy approached my car, leaned in my window and in a very threatening tone declared "so you dont believe in God? What give you the right?" I had my window down because I lived in the deep south, in high humidity high heat and no working A/C. I luckily had a few people with me in the car, but clearly this dude was waiting for me to say no. In retrospect I said not exactly to which he came back with "so then you think he left and is coming back" to which I replied "sure" before catching sight of that same girl off in the distance behind him. He asked me to let me into my car so he could fight a friend of mine for saying something while we talked. Mind you this kid didn't even live in my part of town nor go to my school. A few days later when I went to my car I hand found it had been vandalized and the catalytic converter stolen clean from the underside. I can't fully connect, but the dots lining up like this was too coincidental. The hate some of these people have for anyone who doesn't share their belief is insane, and in this modern age I only believe this guy would have been praised by these fascist weirdos for approaching a woman in a threatening manner. Of course they'd blame the fact that I am a cat mother and don't have human children or a husband.

As a European we are horrified that people in your country are trying to restore laws, mandates and ideas which we for centuries envied and admired you for rejecting . The United States was for centuries an example of freedom and the separation of powers and most of all church and state this was true from the revolutions of 1848 to the Democratic constitution of Germany a century later . It is with deep sadness that many of us on Europe now see that the light your country was for us ,is starting to fade .

It's always had this streak. My maternal family had people who'd fled Europe on both sides of a major religious divide. Kentucky had anti-Catholic riots in the early 19th Century.
