For freedom!
A recent HuffPost/YouGov poll finds a majority(55%) of self-identifying Republicans believe that their state should establish Christianity as the official state religion:
Republicans were more likely than Democrats or independents to say that they would favor establishing Christianity as an official state religion, with 55 percent favoring it in their own state and 46 percent favoring a national constitutional amendment.
It’s not just that 55% of Republicans would do it, or are already doing it at the state and federal level, or that 46% percent of Republicans favor amending the Constitution in officially declaring once and for all that Republican Jesus is the only state-sanctioned spirit guide Americans will ever need to be forced to worship. No!
It’s that the poll asks:
“Based on what you know, would you think that states are permitted by the constitution to establish official state religions, or not?”
And 61% of self-identifying Republicans answered, “not permitted.”
So, they know, which is surprising, but they seem to get that the Constitution prohibits the establishment of Satanism Buddhism Islam Jediism Christianity, but they’d go ahead and do it anyway.
Just like Jesus would have imposed.
