I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

"The government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."
– George Washington

[There must be a] "wall of separation between church and state."
– Thomas Jefferson

[Combining church and state is a system] "set up to terrify and enslave mankind."
– John Adams

"Religion & Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together."
– James Madison

Thomas Paine vehemently opposed ANY collusion between church and state.
The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States forbids the establishment of an official state religion, and furthermore, grants everyone the right to worship as they see fit.
Article VI of the Constitution bans any religious test as a qualification for holding public office.

Christian nationalists are a diseased sect intent on imposing their religious views on everyone else in the country. They push that bullshit at their peril.
