Why are religious people so insistent on having religion in politics and start calling you crazy, saying you'll go to hell and having no religion in politics is the problem? Are they really that delusional? What are your thoughts?

How is it crazy to follow the constitution? There can’t be an establishment of a religion in the United States, therefore you can’t base any political decisions or laws on any particular religion. The untied states is supposed to be a secular society, not a theocracy like Saudi Arabia.

Control. Once you drink the Kool-Aid you want everyone to share your glorious insights and believe what you do.

Evangelizing is a duty in most Christiam denominations. So it becomes a responsibility to convert the "unsaved", which I find offensive.

To be honest.. The reason they want religion in politics so bad, is because without their religion in politics.. Its kinda hard for them to justify how stupid they actually are. Because they use their religion to hide behind. To hide their vulgar personalities, their blunders, their greed, and no telling what else. And their base of voters are mostly under educated, highly brainwashed qnd delusional white christians so.. Its also that lol

The real magic of Christianity is God's forgiveness. You can do all manner of evil and commit the litany of sins and confess your sins and you are right with God again. "Go and sin no more...like a dummy and get caught."

I feel like it stems from a desire to control and a place of fear. Wanting to control their environment to better represent their religion or to have a government that pushes out things that strongly oppose and or doesn't represent their religion. A great example would be the legalization of gay marriage. With religious control, they could look over the rights of many individuals with several other benefits for the religious.

They must ignore the part of their book that says their god puts all leaders in place. So, who ever is elected is put in place despite their god despite their being involved in politics 🙂

Anyone with a lick of sense now days deep down knows religion is bogus. Those clinging to it, angry that things ‘aren’t the way they’re supposed to be’ are blending religion with politics in order to gain the social power they’ve lost with religion. The ‘Republican Party’ now represents the worst of ‘America’s Religions,’ having, in my eyes, become near religion itself.

Visualize the Republicans last convention, rememanisant of a Natzi Ralley with regard to its level of hatred and violence. They’re convinced that ‘might makes right.’ Fortunately, they’re not the majority here in the US, but with religion as the tool - they lock-step to to polls...

Until the good reject religion, recognize the current danger and stop arguing among themselves, this will continue to get worse… It’s not ‘us,’ we get it - it’s the milktoast liberals I know who continue to support ‘just enough religion’ to keep everyone happy ... then split their votes over extremist BS that keeps handing power to those who’d kill us if they could. Good question, serious shit.

It's a fundamental lack of understanding — or caring — about what democracy is and why it's important to protect everyone's rights equally.

It's how religions survive, indoctrinate the indoctrinated into believing that everyone else should be indoctrinated. As all Christians "know" morals come from God, who wouldn't want a more moral society? I for one would like a moral society, just not the evil morals from "the good book"

They can't seem to think far enough ahead to understand that the theocracy they want (assuming they can amend the constitution in order to allow it) will mean that they'll eventually lose their religious freedoms.
