They follow the Old testament they follow the old God. The god of the Bible is a horrible horrible example of any morality on planet Earth. In the New testament there are two different identities of Jesus. One created by the apologetics. To support their old God. And that other dude the one that told Peter don't believe in the rise of religion. The one that said we were supposed to take care of each other in the garden and everything would be given unto us for free. Which is actually true since money and religion are false dichotomies created by man to enslave mankind on planet Earth. So whatever you all think most of you have 98% of that wrong anyway both the right to left. These people have been lying to us for way over eight nine decades. Why would anybody vote blue or red we need to get back together we need to become the United States of America again there is no blue or red there is just by the people for the people that's it.

Dear fellow Christians, learn our history. Please. The principle of the separation of church and state came from Roger Williams who is the primary progenitor of the Baptist tradition in the American colonies. The descendants of the Providence Experiment (now the area around Providence, RI) influenced Congregational ministers who then wrote the primary letter to the drafters of the constitution to ensure that the new country enshrines freedom for and freedom from religion. Williams' experiment specifically created a community that valued organizing civil society whether or not the individuals are people of faith. That was in 1632. Nearly 400 years ago.

You know as an atheist from Germany where we have much much more separation of church and state in everyday life (although churches still have enormous privileges), it is really really strange to me all this talk about god in political speeches. Even our christian democratic party would never talk about god in this extensive way on every possibility available. Also you wouldNEVER hear a political leader or chancellor say:God bless Germany. That would be considered VERY STRANGE and misplaced. No one talks about their personal religious beliefs here. There have been discussions about having crosses hanging in classrooms a few years ago but that only was in the most religious state of Bavaria and not even their secretary of state would regularly comment on religion or even say „god bless Germany“ on a regular basis when he does politics. America is really really strange, even without the Christian nationalist movement.

[@norman_5623]

Interesting fact: The motto of the United States used to be "E pluribus unum," until 1956, when it was replaced by "In God we trust". It was part of the anti-Communist movement, and was supposed to remind Americans of how the Godless Communists were our enemies. It's ironic that a motto which affirmed our unity was replaced by a motto that divided us. If you look at American politics, you can see how conservatives especially use religious divisions (particularly over abortion) for their own political advantage.

[@RealRyanFlynn]

Have we conveniently forgotten that Christian Nationalism was the religion of Germany’s Nazi party in the 1930s? And that this set of beliefs was what paved the way for over 6 million Jews to be executed for nothing more than practicing a different religion than the ruling party? Religious rhetoric blended into politics like this is EXACTLY the same as what Hitler did with his rally speeches before World War II. If you can’t see the similarity, you’re part of the problem. If DeSantis truly was for freedom, he wouldn’t be attempting to impose religious rule across the United States. He would listen to the will of the majority, not the minority. Religion has zero place in politics, and should not be used as a dog whistle to the pseudo-religious extremists in this country that use their religion as cover for committing evil against others. If you want freedom, then you must accept that people can live as they want, as long as they are not harming others or infringing on their rights, regardless of whether you agree with their way of life or not. When the government starts to infringe on the individual rights of the people under the guise of religious mandate, then the government no longer stands for freedom but demonstrates that it is an enemy of freedom.

[@Llynnyia]

They explicitly hated the "weakness" of the Christian message of care towards the old, weak and sick etc., all categories of people that they wanted to exterminate. Even though the Nazies had a lot of support from conservative parts of society at the time, they tried to install an Atheist Fuhrer cult and replace the two large established churches.

[@markusoreos.233]

@Nathan Nope. Hitler openly ridiculed the small sects of nazi theorists who advocated for that. They were irrelevant and remained irrelevant throughout the nazi regime. Positive christianity though, amassed millions to the nazi's cause.

[@AviKats66]

@Nathan Hitler himself wasn’t a believer in Christianity but he used it and the faith of those who were to rise to power and justify his policies and actions. One of his arguments was how Judaism was corrupting Catholicism and many churches agreed and supported him on that point. There was a small pagan faith movement which supported Nazism, as well as some individual Catholic and Protestant churches which opposed it, but in 1939 census tells that over 98% of German population identified as Catholic, Protestant, or believing in God, meaning it was the dominant faith of Nazi Germany by far. Some Nazi officials were anti-church but others were religious and advocated for things like “positive Christianity”. The Nazi regime supported Catholic and Christian groups/individuals who supported them, and persecuted those who did not. The Nazis weren’t made up of one singular collective agreeing on all matters, which means that you can correctly say that Nazis were pro-Christianity and anti-Christianity - but you can’t deny that Catholicism was hugely prevalent and involved in Nazi Germany.
