While I agree with the sentiment, we should take a step back.

"Our" religion!? And what would that be? Pretty sure the founding fathers made it damn clear that there was no official religion and we were to separate church and state.

I'm so sick of these Christian fascists that see the handmaid's tale as something to aspire to and the grifting assholes that will drive that into existence for their own personal gain...

I say if we deport anyone it's the people who start forcing their religion on the rest of us.

In theory, yes. There should be a separation of church and state.

In practice though, there are a lot of Republicans who would welcome a fascist theocracy and they're working toward that end. They get away with it because there are so few moderate Christians who are willing to go to war with these assholes.

I was readying the first amendment and that first line really looks like freedom from religion to me.
