Growing up in a Christian household, I was taught that America was a Christian nation. I always heard people say “A vote for republicans, is a vote for Christianity. Every family I knew lived by it. Every pastor I heard preached it. During that time, It was a golden rule in Christian Culture. But when I got older, the undeniable truth was revealed. I discovered the relationship between politics and christianity wasn’t a match made in heaven. In fact, this is a relationship that will never work.
Every politician's promise to promote, and uphold christian values is one they can't keep. Therefore, It's a lie that can only be used to pander the christian vote. This claim is true, because the constitution says so. The 1st amendment would restrict any politician from keeping that promise.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
As you can see, It was implemented to prevent religious influence in the government.
Furthermore, this applies to all religions to be fair. Simply put, this stops america from
ever becoming a christian nation. It will always be a nation full of people who have different religious belief’s. They all have the freedom to follow, believe, and express the religion they want. As a Christian, I’d love to say otherwise, but the Bible prohibits me from doing so. Because the freedom the 1st amendment gives you, is also given by God. He does not force people to follow him. They have a right to choose according to Joshua 24:15
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then CHOOSE for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”
In conclusion, these facts prove that your vote for either party doesn’t diminish, or increase your Christian value. The choice you make to follow Christ does. The constitution will never allow him to be a candidate. It will also never allow Christian values to be legislated. Therefore, you're just voting for another job every election. You're not voting for a pastor, evangelist, prophet, rabbi, monk, or any other religious leader. You're voting for someone who has to serve citizens. That includes those who have different religious belief’s or views. All points considered, your character, integrity, and how you treat people can promote Jesus Christ. That is the only way his message can get across to others.
