If you have visited this blog before, you will have noticed that I'm quite religious and a re-born Christian. However, I think one of the main reasons that the United States has been such a successful enterprise is that this country was based on the separation of church and state. Observe the countries in the world that are theocracies. They seem to exist in a state of chaos and are incapable of solving their problems. The countries that seem the most violent are the ones that are theocracies. Religion is suppose to bring peace, but it does just the opposite when it gets mixed up with politics.
Although the separation of church and state was practiced by the Soviet Union, they suppressed religion, which doesn't work either. There has to be a complete separation of religion and politics, without the suppression of either of them over the other. Why? Because that's what works. The USA proves that by its history.
It's ironic how organized religion seems to instigate so much hatred when the entire purpose of religion is just the opposite--to bring peace, inner and outer. The Republicans with all their hatred and anger towards Obama is just the opposite of the religious principles that they profess to have.

We are one nation under God,
not one country under Christianity
I have a grassroots webpage for collecting donations for Obama. Please visit and maybe make a small donation. Thank you.
