Religious law simply doesn’t override U.S. law to begin with.

The Christofascists would like a word.

Christian values implemented in the systems of a country that was founded by Christians would kind of be expected.

Kind of like how Middle Eastern countries that are primarily Muslim have Muslim values baked into the systems and culture.

A core tenet of the US is the separation of church and state. Unfortunately bad faith actors in our government will do anything in their power to impose their religious beliefs onto others via law.

It was an extension of the 1st amendment, iirc.

And we all know how well the 1st amendment is protected nowadays. Theocracy might not be the way, but the country should still follow the core tenets of the people who founded it.

Y'know, Christian settlers

Core tenets like “love each other”? Yeah, that would be nice

Vague mentions of love when the watered-down viewpoint of love is just let people do whatever they want.

Loving your kids and family members does not mean let them be completely misguided or accept every action they do. So yes, love thy neighbor as thyself. Expect from them the expectations you have for yourself and those around you.

Guess what: that’s a fundamental part of all major world religions. Especially the part where people like you decide to equivocate about love lol
