Religion Must Get the Fuck Out of Our Government

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 It is no secret that I reject all organized religion. In 1981, I found myself increasingly angry that our government was clearly favoring one religion over all others, which is forbidden by the First Amendment.

Ronald Reagan is the reason this began to be a problem. In his defense, I believe he was a true believer. However, his support of Christianity harmed our nation greatly, and his poor judgment continues to be problematic today.

Here we are in 2025. The Antichrist is following his destiny as predicted by the Bible and is pretending to be our nation’s president.

Trump will pander to any individual or group offering his, hers, or their support and adoration for the old, obese man whose only “god” is himself.

Another fake-Christian group is attempting to ignore the teachings of Jesus Christ and force their prejudices on all Americans.

Southern Baptists, all 12 million of them, are another group falsely claiming to be Christians. Their latest effort is focused on the repeal of same-sex marriage.

Never forget: these pretenders are one of the most extremist religious groups in America, evangelicals, who supported Trump in all three elections, knowing that he is a sexual predator, a traitor, and a convicted felon. Yep, that’s right, they love the Antichrist.

"What we're trying to do is keep the conversation alive," Andrew Walker, an ethicist at a Southern Baptist seminary in Kentucky who wrote the resolution, told the New York Times.

"I think there is a confidence that (Trump) will have their backs," Kristin Du Mez, a Calvin University history professor specializing in religion and politics, told the BBC.

"In some ways, it's an uphill battle," she said. "But I do think they sense that there's been this shift, that there may be a window opening, and that they think this is the right time to press this issue."

It’s always a good time for racists and bigots to spread their evil message. Evangelicals are a perfect example why the fastest growing “religion” in America is “none of the above.” We are now more than 100 million strong.

The truth fake Christians don’t want you to hear, is that the First Amendment guarantees anyone to practice the religion of their choice, but it also promises me “freedom from religion.”

History proves that religions are responsible for the killing of innocent men, women, and children in greater numbers than any other source since world events were recorded.
