We’ll see what happens in 2025, of course.

    I have no idea what you’re talking about. It wasn’t supposed to be because the founder’s writings and the Constitution says so. Not to mention the never-repealed Barbary treaties which make it explicit that the United States is in no way a Christian country.

    You don’t seem to understand the difference between “supposed to be” and “is.”

      If the country is supposed to be “not Christian values” then it’s self-defeating to center and amplify Christian values like anti-capitalism, redistribution, and wielding government as a moral authority.

        Once again, you seem to have a lot of trouble with the difference between “supposed to be” and “is.”

          What is on lemmy is righteous anti-social ascetic retreats into off grid homeschooled veganism. What I’m having trouble with is understanding how that sparks a change toward whatever you think is supposed to be rather than propagating the Christian status quo.

            I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. The only change is going to be turning the U.S. into a literal Christian country at the end of January when the fascist dictator takes over.

            Why are you making this about me? I didn’t write the Constitution and I’m not Donald Trump either.

              Getting on the supposed’a soapbox to post made it about you lol my point has been addressing a seeming disconnect between Internet atheists’ claimed values and lived experiences. If the country gets anymore Christian I’ll attribute it to their self unaware amplification.
