Not for the first time, I'm surprised at how informed and progressive our forbears were. The church is still successfully demanding that politicians align themselves with a religious even though they have failed morally and scientifically for the entire history of our nation. This series is a bit of a slog, quite a few interesting tidbits but way to long.
You say "our nation "? Are you referring to the secret religion devil worship of the Masonic lodge secret religion racist devil worshipper European invador governmental terrorist called United States of America raping this land from the original indigenous inhabitants calling them such as Mexicans, indian, and native American?
Following biblical "religious " dictates to have identification for capitalism "buying and selling " government control capitalism slavery.
that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name. Revelations 13:17
Make sure you have your birth certificate, social security card and photo identification establishment of the "mark" (identification) of the beast (laws of government) credentials.
Quoting the book of Revelation while advancing conspiracy theories? Not what one might expect from a self-proclaimed agnostic, skeptic, freethinker. From what agnostic, skeptic, freethinker sources have you obtained these ideas?
@p-nullifidian conspiracy theories not being discussed. The European invasion that started in the year 1492 and the Masonic lodge secret religion racist devil worshipper governmental terrorist European invador's "freedom" from England July 4th, 1776 is no theory. It is well documented historical fact.
@Word One of my avid hobbies is studying the American Colonial period, including the life of my avatar. As a result, I have a library filled with books on the period written by renowned, award-winning historians, none of whom have discussed what you have put out there. So once again, please cite the source of your "well documented historical fact."
@p-nullifidian colonies were not European invadors?
A crying shame, are you saying it never happened? It is not in any of you history books about those raping this land from the original indigenous inhabitants calling them such as Mexicans, indian and native American?
Is this info all a lie?

What was the Trail of Tears?
Taking place in the 1830s, the Trail of Tears was the forced and brutal relocation of approximately 100,000 indigenous people (belonging to Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole, among other nations) living between Michigan, Louisiana, and Florida to land west of the Mississippi River. Motivated by gold and land, Congress (under President Andrew Jackson) passed the Indian Removal Act by a slim and controversial margin in 1830.
@p-nullifidian Masonic lodge secret religion racist devil worshipper governmental terrorist Benjamin Franklin wrote an essay questioning who really are the savages. Have you read it?
@p-nullifidian now where do you see conspiracy theory?
Just one example
Over 2000 years ago religious text Bible mandates religious orders and laws of income taxation of 10%, tithe. What has changed with in "American " laws? Just the %. We are under the religious orders of religious requirements to pay religious taxes.
No theory about it, it is right there directly observed in black and white written text.
Where did my ancestry called Cherokee require people to pay property tax, just to have land to live on, as it is now required under this European invastion government?
@p-nullifidian Religious mandate is about income tax and identification for "buying and selling". Why does "American" laws violate constitutional amendment that religious governments mandate will not be established? This is no theory. Direct observation of written text written in black and white.
@p-nullifidian Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, ....
Why is there income tax laws? Why is there identification laws? These are religious mandates for religious purposes
Where do you see any theory? Can you not see simply black and white?
Religion is income tax and identification for taxation capitalism slavery government control. Why is YOUR U.S. constitution being violated?
@p-nullifidian I do not consider myself into "debating".
Please, feel free to teach me your understanding that would give indication that my understanding is incorrect.
Please, feel free to to make observations clear that what I observe is incorrect.
Please, feel free to articulate your observations in an intellageable manner so that my cognitive power to think would properly understand what you would want to indicate is incorrect.
@Word There’s a number of disjointed concepts to unpack here. Suffice to say that what was done to the indigenous peoples of this continent at the hands of European colonists has been well-documented and was nothing short of genocide. It must never be forgotten! But that is not what I originally called into question.
Your polemic reads like a QAnon manifesto, and such conspiracy theories as you’ve espoused surrounding freemasonry are called ‘fringe’ for good reasons. But real life is not a Dan Brown novel or a 'National Treasure' movie. A direct line may be drawn from the mindset that promulgates conjectures regarding the illuminati to the freemasons to the occult to the Jews to the deep state.
Like the notions that we never went to the moon, the world is flat, 9-11 was an inside job, the election was rigged or that vaccines are a government plot, these conspiracy theories are not grounded in reality, and require a heavy dose (dare I say, overdose) of credulity. In short, they require faith—something that skeptics like us usually abandon. I commend to you the book by the well-known skeptic, Michael Shermer, “Conspiracies and Conspiracy Theories: What We Should and Shouldn’t Believe—And Why.”
Peace.
@p-nullifidian I am not trying to promote or have anything to do with these so called conspiracy theories groups or ideas you list.
In simple short, I am making observation of facts and consider direct observable connections.
Atheists Must Get Power
Unless atheists win power, none of our side efforts, complains and whining is going to work. Christianity and Islam spread because they made emperors, kings adopt their faith. Hinduism did not break out beyond their land in spite of being the oldest but Buddhism spread only because of patronage of kings.
It is time that FFRF and all other anti-religion organization begin getting powerfully funded and they start making their voice known in all government affairs at all levels... from school boards to Congress/parliaments to presidents and prime ministers including all courts.
