Hello Reptile;
I took a walk this afternoon and thought about what I posted. I was thinking about the First Admendment. It is so vague, but it does mention separation of church and state, but never endorses or condems. So, I would say( in my opinion) that church can meddle state to state, but a national policy on religion no way.
Hawaii is a strong Christain state. There have been times when I have been around a group Christains, and I'm made to feel uncomfortable. It's not everyone, mind you, but you can spot them by their walking gait with their nose held high. These people are a sorce of shame to others of the same church, but to the uninitiated, it looks real bad, and makes their church look worse. There seems to be a rule of checks and balances to counteract rude behavior by church members to outsiders here.Mostly they are condescending, especially when taking your money, but in the mainland, I'm not sure. I think a lot of fundalmentalist types will discriminate on job preference, to equal rights. If you live in a community where it is heavily church people, good luck finding/holding a job..........I have witnessed your observation Reptile on the part of your thread that states "they will discriminate until they are outnumberd".Church people can be very secular, very rude, and throw you a cold shoulder with the best of them. Break the link to where they are outnumberd, and they can actually be pretty nice people on the outside. It's human nature, pretty disgusting!I guess we are all secular to a certain degree, we tend to drift toward people we trust or have like interests in. Our president is doing this now, hope he stays fair and does not plays favorites.
Well, that's all I have to say for now.
