Not what many would have you think.

It's obvious the Founding Fathers were crystal clear about who the nation was being formed to serve.

The people, not the church.

Why do so many feel America must be defined as a christian nation?

It just seems so prevalent and common nowadays. Why would anyone choose to be a part of such a thing?

Can one find spiritual comfort without organized religion's grip?

Modern christianity has creeped me out. There's too many liars, cheats, and criminals. I'll take my chances with the non-religious humanists. They seem a lot more normal and open about who they are.

Is it just me, or does religion seem to draw the creeps in?

Another huge evangelical force; more allegations of crime.

If such criminal actions continue to surface, will evangelicals be forced to question their beliefs, or their leaders?

How does any religious leader, especially an evangelical christian, look in the mirror and decide god wants him to get both a Mercedes and a Lexus for his wife?

"Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

This doesn't sound like our current Immigration Policy.

Does anyone else think it should be easier for good people (who can pass a background check) to become legal citizens of the USA, or is our current policy (and $675 fee) okay?

There's been plenty of reason to think about immigration policies lately, and I'm curious what thoughts others have.
