Why can't most Christians understand the need for separation of religion and govt?

RE: Why can't most Christians understand the need for separation of religion and govt?
Welcome back! It's lovely to hear from you Smile Hope you're feeling OK?

It's been my experience of the troublesome element of American Christianity that they cannot differentiate between religion and "my religion", nor between God and "my god". Because they are such a big majority they don't need protecting as such, although ironically they'd be the first to scream persecution if their religion actually was held against them.

Such people need to see things from others' point of view, and to visualise a situation where Christians are in the minority. I think they still see America as a Christian country, and that's a problem.

Props to the American Christians who understand and support secularism. They represent the future of religion if it is to survive I think, and are the people who want to happily coexist rather than impose their rule.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
