religion isn't banned, overt expression of it is, those are two different things.
That's pedantic, it's still the government involving itself in policing religious expression.
You can't use the excuse of separating church in state if you are utilizing the state to police the church.
except the church is literally not policed, how does it affect the church if your governnent employees can't wear crosses to work?
get a fucking grip.
You do know when the constitution mentions the church, they aren't being literal...... The "church" is the institution of religious beliefs, which is made up of people. You are policing people's rights to freely express their beliefs.
Are you harmed by someone wearing a cross when they work?
yes i am, it burns,it offends me, it's a hate symbol.
That sounds like more of a personal problem than an actual depiction of a problem in reality.
I'm an atheist/agnostic, someone believing in some fake metaphysical being doesn't affect me at all. What does affect me is when those people try to force their beliefs on me, and you seem to be hellbent on paving the way for them to do so.
you are right I am personally paving the way, because what I say on this platform dictates policy, lmao
Lol, if you are now claiming your opinion holds no value or influence.....why make a rebuttal in the first place?
