I'm not so sure about that. Many of the Christians here believe that this is God's country, and therefore Christianity deserves special status. I think if they were outraged by a Muslim endorsing a candidate, and someone called them on their hypocrisy, they would just say that this is a Christian nation. When it comes to freedom of religion in this country, many Christians have no problem being hypocrites.
When that happens simply ask them which sect of "Christianity". No one on the left is going to agree with the right.
I'd actually like to postulate a change to the Oath of office to show how stupid the superfluous "So help me God" crap is that a politician can do, but is not required to do.
I'd like to see how liberal or republican Christians would like it if the oath of office MANDATED, an oathn only to "Mary" or only to"Southern Baptists" or "Libertarians" or only "Mormons" or only " Scientologists".
I have seen this happen before in court cases. The founders had an idea of neutrality in the form of two choices .
1. You let it all in
2. Or agree to keep the setting neutral
Now the founders did intend everything to be case by case, so there was no absolute for the minority or the majority.
I know the current false meme is that Christians falsely think the founders had a religious pecking order. But if we want as a nation to focus on other things than social club membership and on things we all have in common, such as food, poverty, jobs and education, Rather than accept that bullshit meme, why don't we fight to educate the population as to the importance of equality and pluralism as per stated by "NO RELIGIOUS TEST"?
I know things are the way they are, but they don't have to stay that way.
