We are republic Under God....and what people don't understand even though we think that means Judeo Christians. The Constitution is clear, meaning anyone that believes in a higher being than themselves. Other words ,everyone is in but Agnostics and Atheists. Some Theologians have un-disqualified Atheists.
So...yep something like what happened in Germany could happen here and be constitutional Under God. Because we are not a Christian's only country under the constitution.
You're familiar with the word ahistorical, which simply means NOT historically accurate?
Your word salad attempt at.... I'm not certain.... is 'aconstitutional'.
WTF is 'everybody is in but'.....?! Is there an 'Everybody Is In But'.....clause in any of the Articles or in the First Amendment?
We are not a 'Republic under God'.
One Nation...under god was inserted in the pledge of allegiance in the early 50's as a push back to 'godless communism'. The pledge had no mention of god up until that point. The US Constitution, the governing document, has no mention of god.
The Constitution is explicitly secular, stipulating that there be no religious test to hold office, and requiring that Congress make NO law respecting an establishment of religion....no State church.
And of course 'free exercise 'of religion is protected from Congressional intrusion too.
I once pointed out to a friend who insisted that there was no harm in
public school sanctioned prayer that he would change his mind, and learn the phone number for the ACLU, the first time his kid came home and described the Muslim morning call to prayer piped in over the intercom.
I think he got it. But ya never know with your Republican Taliban!
Another joke is that as long as there are pop quizzes, kids will pray in school.
