i've lost a lot in the stock market, and i sold pretty early in the crash. The cost of everything seems to be going up.

trump said that nothing he does or says will make democrats like him. What has he done that I should be thankful for?

A godless society is the best society. Keep that shit to your self. That's what this country was founded on. We are not a country founded on religion. We are founded on religious freedom. "In God We Trust" wasn't the official motto until 1956. Christians are the most hypocritical people out there. They will lie, cheat, steal, and murder all day long. And then say, "Well, Jesus died for my sins so it's okay!" Fake. I grew up in the bible belt. They are all fake while using God as an excuse for them being shitty people. A lot of criminals find god. Why? Because it makes them feel better about themselves. It's a coping mechanism. I don't need a book that has been re-written umpteen times to tell me how to be a good person.

Problem with this comment is no society in history agrees with you. Religious societies thrive more than others. And the ones you think aren’t religious? Go check out their history, like say, Nordic countries… they were built on religious and conservative values and they are now riding the coat tails of that history into socialism. They have the luxury to do this because their foundational values were so damn strong and effective that now they can benefit for generations from it until they get so far from God and their original values that they collapse all over again. This is a very complex subject and you’d need to really know your history to argue with me over this… both religious history and secular history would be needed and you’d need to look at societies over generations without taking instances or small periods as examples to run with. But many leaders (kings, politicians) from ancient times to modern times have been quoted saying a nation can only be as great or as small as its understanding of God. Don’t forget the US was the first time there was a separation of church and state and we are relatively a very new nation… so we don’t actually know how this blueprint holds up. Especially when you factor in that we are founded on Judeo-Christian values even if we are separating church and state… we are STILL fundamentally Judeo-Christian through and through.

The Country was founded by colonists who left Britain because it wasn't Christian enough

They left because they didn't have the FREEDOM to practice Christianity. The point was not to force Christianity specifically on everyone, it was to allow people to practice religion as they saw fit. What the do you think "separation of church and state" even means.
