If we developed a Muslim majority should we declare this a Muslim nation? I just don't believe in giving in to the tyranny of the majority.
The fact is that this country is better off without it becoming a theocracy. Not only because one of its founding principles is freedom of religion (and to declare this a "Christian Nation" opposes that principle) but because for far too long we've given in to this mindset.
It IS possible to have morals without religion. It IS possible to find happiness and contentment without it. It IS possible for America to be America without having to favor one religion over another. I think we need to stop worrying about appeasing the religious fanatics in this country and I think it's time for the religious right to open THEIR minds and meet others halfway instead of expecting everyone to go by what they say.
There doesn't have to be a "battle" over religion. Nothing is threatening Christianity in America. The only battle is keeping them from trying to take over the politics of this country, nothing good can result from that.
