The status qoe of "Christian Nation" pissed off Sam Harris to the point of writing a book titled "Letter To A Christian Nation". But since those 9,000 who have singed that petition in 1 day havent become famous writers like him, they are all barking up the wrong tree.
I do know what I am doing and so do the 9,000 people who signed that petition.
Barking at attempts of pecking orders on issues of religion deserves barking, roaring and bitch slapping!
Otherwise as an atheist yourself, don't make waves in Iran because you "might" upset them.
Let me spell this out for you...
The two things you seek to change are codified into US Federal Code. This is the purview of Congress. The President lacks the power to make the changes you seek, and even if he had the power, would not likely due so, nor is he likely to do anything more than say "talk to your Congressman".
Which, coincidentally, is precisely the person you should be talking to if you're interested in anything more than making a bluster on this issue.
It wouldn't matter if you had a hundred gazillion signatures on a petition, the President does not have the power to give you what you want.
