Do you want religion out of government(see details)?

No. Government without religion is a cold, heartless government. We need religion to help with compassion and understanding, as well as infusing some much-needed morals into our officials. The US was founded on Christian principles, and nowhere in our founding documents does it say that religion is not allowed in government, only that the government cannot establish (ie: force on you) a religion. \n\nTo all those who will start blathering about "separation of church and state" please note that this phrase is NO WHERE in our documents. It is found in private letters written by Thomas Jefferson a decade after this country was founded.

Yes I am, and I don't appreciate the dirty tricks squads from their people. All the scandals in the name of Capitalistic Religion. Our forefathers knew best about separation of church and State, and it would keep America from falling into a Fascist Dictatorship, lead by a false Religion. Capitalism is not a Religion of the Lord, it's just the opposite of. It's says you can't follow two masters and be tuned into the Lord.

Religion and politics are a BAD combination! You should keep the two as separate as possible as often as possible. No church should have an official political stance. If it does, it should lose its tax-exempt status.

I don't go to church, though I am a Christian.  I am a republican, but left my church because it preached the republican agenda from the pulpit.  Politics has no place in the church

Laws don't come from religion, they come from people wanting to be protected.  So, yes there would be laws.

Absolutely not! Government funds are not to be allocated to religious organizations. The founding fathers of the United States of America would be turning in their grave. When religous groups want to start taking advantage of federal fund and programs, then those same groups can start paying taxes.

Get rid of EVERY religion. Think about it.

I think we do.  Ensuring that the government is religiously and theistically neutral is the only way maintain balance and keep things fair.  That way no ones beliefs are being promoted and no ones beliefs are being denied.\n\nA lot of people don't realize that part of freedom *of* religion is freedom *from* religion.  You aren't really religiously free if you don't have the ability to dissent and say "I don't believe that".\n\nIt may bother some people that they're not allowed to use the government to promote their beliefs, but as long as the government doesn't promote any beliefs everyone is being viewed equally.

I don't understand how this country (US) could be founded on religion when the 1st amendment guarantees the separation of church and state. Politicians who seek votes by professing their religion don't look like idiots to me. To me they come across as being anti-American.

NO!! They have taken God out of schools ( I wish they hadn't). Government needs to leave the statement "In God We Trust" alone. We all need one thing that we can trust in. God is the best thing for that. If we don't have God then we might as well not be here.

NO!!! I don't want one government controlling the world, but I know(the Bible) that in the end-times that is gonna happen, and all the Christians will be persecuted and put to death. I don't want to speed that along any more than necessary.

It's a good idea, but they wouldn't follow it. That's why I had this great idea of the gov't enforcing religion... it'd be so awesome. x3

Historially, a secular government is great for any religious follower who doesn't want to get burned, drowned, hung, or beheaded for their religious beliefs.  And I think that is the issue:  a lack of historical understand of how Theocracies have worked, or more accuretely haven't worked, in the past.\n\nPersonally, I don't want any government telling what I can or should believe.  Religion is a personal choice, not a political one.

Why is it that you people are assuming that this person is suggesting that religions be outlawed?  That is NOT the question.  The question involves whether or not religion should be discluded from governments.  DUH!  And yes, I believe that religion SHOULD be discluded from governments...  To do so is the only way that we will ever truly be free to choose our own religions or to choose NO religion at all.  As long as religion plays a role in the governments of the world, there will always be decisions based upon religion, which in turn violates our right to choose our own religions, beliefs, lifestyles, faiths, etc....

Perhaps. But the government only recognizes so many religions. Otherwise people might start doing terrible things in their religion's name... oops, wait... bit late for that. Really, though, unless the government decides to recognize cubianity as a legitimate religion you don't have a leg to stand on. If they did you might be able to get away with it.

Well first of all, this country was not built on separation of politics & religion. It was built on : no state sponsered religion and equality of all religions. If you look at our founding fathers, they incorporated thier religious beliefs into many aspects of government and politics.\nSo in my opinion , on the religious and political front, our country is out of step with what the framers of the Constitution intended it to be.

While I think it's fine to have religious beliefs, I think that religion and democracy are antithetical. \n\nIf democracy entails "majority rule," then religion merely segregates people into "us" vs. "them" categories. \n\nReligion has no place in democracy.
