Sounds to me as if somebody yet again has a warped understanding of the so-called separation of church and state. Evangelical churches or any other kind of churches encouraging patriotism exert no control over the government at large or over other citizens who may disagree with their religious beliefs. Patriotism is not a negative trait.

It’s actually sort of surprising that anyone would attempt to make an issue out of this with Evangelicals. It’s not as if their religious beliefs are centered to some extent around the US Constitution as is the case with the Mormons.

Our religious beliefs are centered around Jesus Christ not the US Constitution. I'm not sure where you got this from.

That is not the way i understand it, there is nothing wrong with church people being patriots but do they have to be taught by a preacher who is supposedly trained to preach the Bible?

If people do not have brains enough to decide for them selves if they believe in this nation or not i doubt if preaching patriotism is going to do much good.

And 50 percent of the people voting for socialism proves that point.
