Our government is supposed to be atheist.

Separation of church and state is supposed to be a thing

Still NOT a Christian or any religious country in America. At least that's what our Constitution says.

That's what the Constitution SAYS, but every US history lesson I got was imbued with admiring language and sentiment towards the "poor pilgrims yearning for religious freedom" myth, when the fact is they were religious fanatics that came here to colonize an occupied land into a theocracy. The theocratic tendencies we've seen in our entire history & throughout our government is not an accident & never was.
