the founding fathers of america were very clear to separate church and state. very clear. despite the subtleties, they knew it would not be a good idea. please don't attribute bush as a representative of this country and what it stands for because he is not, nowhere near anything the value and achievements of this nation. please. jesus. anyway, if you look at one case in particular, the issue of marriage and divorce. marriage as institution is made legal by LAW. the same goes for divorce. nowhere in the bible does divorce have any support. before everyone rains more shit on the US, let's try to be objective. the law of the united states, the supreme law of the land IS the constitution. regardless of what policies and subtlties presidents have implemented, that is just that. presidents come and go. church and state in this country is still separate.
swearing on the bible and having god in the currency does not make this country a theocracy. no where close. actually, christianity and god is more of a social common ground that seeps on to politics and media. a way of uniting people on a broad level. as i said, church or religious attendance is strong in this country so it is common for politicians and media to unite the masses with using symbols such as religion and god.
