I h**e it when I'm the only one who recognizes that the other guy is brainwashed and lacking in freedom of thought...

Onward Christian soldiers
Why let the jihadis have alk the fun
Start with the Atheists...
Move on to the agnostics (Damn fence sitters)
Then get the Muslims and Jews and Buddhists and Hindus and Sihks and..(you get the point)
Next go for the Catholics and Orthodox...
Probably ought to clear out the Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses as well...
Don't forget them New Age Churches....
Some of the Protestants are probably a little off too...
Thank "God" we have you here to judge


(in case you are sarcastically impaired... This was all Sarcasm... Every bit of it.... Except for this disclaimer at the end.... It's mostly true... )

For the first time in history, atheists constitute the largest religious group in America. According to the General Social Survey, the number of Americans who have no religion has increased 266% over the past three decades and now account for 23.1% of the population, just barely edging out Catholics and Evangelicals as the nation’s dominant faith. Mainline Protestant churches have suffered the greatest collapse, declining 62.5% since 1982 and now comprising just 10.8% of the U.S. population.

As religiosity has declined, social ills have abounded. Nearly one in five American adults suffers from anxiety disorders, which now constitute the most common mental illness in the country. One in six Americans takes antidepressant drugs, a 65% surge over just 15 years. The problem is particularly acute among younger Americans. While depression diagnoses have increased 33% since 2013, that number is up 47% among Millennials and 63% among teenagers. Coincidentally, suicide rates among American teenagers have increased by 70% since 2006. American life expectancy declined again last year, as Americans continue to drug and k**l themselves at record rates.

Social scientists have long since established the link between religiosity and life satisfaction. As social psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky observes, people who attend religious services several times each week are nearly twice as likely as those who worship less than once a month to describe themselves as “very happy.” Such psychologists simply state the obvious: the belief that God loves you and that you will live with him in eternity offers greater consolation than the view of death as a dirt nap that stiffens you into worm food.


Religious people are also significantly more likely to engage in happy-making behaviors, such as getting and staying married. A study released in 2017 affirmed what countless others had already shown: married couples report higher life satisfaction than their single, divorced, and widowed neighbors. That satisfaction tends to last beyond the honeymoon and well into old age.

The misery epidemic threatens not merely American households but also our halls of power. The late Andrew Breitbart observed that politics is downstream of culture, and culture in turn is downstream of religion. “Cult” and “culture” are etymologically related, and a culture is defined by what it worships. A materialistic culture worships wealth; a licentious culture worships sex; a godly culture worships God. But “our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people,” as John Adams wrote to the Massachusetts m*****a in 1798. “It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

A miserable politics awaits us when the irreligious rot flows downstream. Who but God can help us now?

Atheism, agnostics wh**ever you want to call the people who do not believe they will find Christianity will survive. It’s been attacked before and sustained it’s self and it will do so again. That’s what I believe, God bless us all.

No, you can thank an increase in our understanding of the earth and universe at all levels for causing lots of people to question un fathomable creation myths. It is simply a matter of knowledge overcoming superstition.

=================
The proponents of Godless America are the radical DEMS.. How do they do it?
1.A******ns and k*****g babies even if they are already human, then sell baby parts.
2.Allow so many illegal entries of people without loyalty; who are not Christians especially from the Muslim countries.
3.Allow so many i******s who are not Christians, that democrats want to v**e for them.
4. Public schools run by the labor union democrats are loaded with drugs brought by the Hispanic/Mexican
4A. Kids brought up by parent out of wedlock, not given proper training especially baptism to Christianity.
5.Democrats love the L**T's who are fully given rights that now harass and abuse Christians, and display their immoral lifestyle.
6. Most democrats have unmarried women who could not support their kids but use for dependency to the government. Their kids lack religious training.
7.Most democrats are not Christians, don't respect the sanctity of marriage, they just live together. Their kids become godless,due to lack of religious training. For Catholics marriage in the Church is most important due to the Sacrament required to be a Catholic.
8. Atheists tend to v**e for democrats who support them and empower them. Quid-pro-quo.
9. Colleges and universities have liberal/progressive professors who brainwash the students to disregard our Christian God.
9. Atheists display their full hatred to Christians without any negative consequences.

Note: This country was given a Christian birth with the Judeo-Christian tenets of our constitution, and our Declaration of Independence. Our Founders 99% of them were Christians, the 1% Agnostic, eventually became Christian. These founders came from Europe to escape the religious persecution, and brought with the them most valuable asset they have "The Holy Bible".

The country was discovered by Columbus and Americus Vespucci in 1492 and 1496, both Christians.

Now the radical DEMS are taking away Christianity. Ilhan Omar, and Tlaib are Muslims who h**e America, and want to take over. Pelosi allow them to. Pelosi is a hypocrite who is interested only in her lifetime power. She is not a Christian by her actions and deeds.

And evil defying nature. There are universal rights and wrongs. I see no problem with atheists, but their fruits and the fruits of evil, I have a problem with!

How do you define a universal right/wrong? For example, have you nailed down any?
