Patriot-X

Left alone, Americans, for the most part, get along well with one another. When Politics, Religion and other capitalized pronouns become involved, Americans, like anyone, can become foolish, and even dangerous. Here's how the world appears to someone who is not defined by pop-culture, junk-science categories. (Note: I write for adults. Some language may be unsuitable for children.)

Theocracy

I was raised liberal Democrat. Save the UN and all hail the spotted owl. Then I got "borned a-grin" and went conservative ... but I STILL believed that gummint had no bidness in religion. If a local community wants a nativity scene (or a freakin menorah!) on the courthouse lawn ... none of the gummint's bidness. If the local community wants NO SCENE on the lawn ... ditto. Government is not supposed to ignore, avoid, quash or oppose religion ... just keep out of it.

Having said all of that, even when I was religious, I did not believe Washington had any business making law from religion (like an amendment against gay marriage). Wrong, wrong, wrong.
