Out now: 69% of residents believe the United States should never declare an official religion. Just imagine the mess if the government tried to foist one religious group’s beliefs on so varied a people.

Yet that’s effectively what Christian nationalists are attempting to do today. https://www.texasobserver.org/a-wall-thats-worth-defending/

@TexasObserver That says 31% of Americans want to establish their religion. One guess which one that is.

That's a third of our country who believe the country we now have shouldn't exist.

@TexasObserver God and the State. What's the difference, really?

Of course, you should remember what happened to the guy who said that.
