‘America the Beautiful’ is a Much better song, GBA sucks, it is the worst of the patriotic anthems because it is slow, dull, and authoritarian. God has nothing to do with it.

THE population of nonreligious Americans -- including atheists, agnostics and those who call themselves "nothing in particular" The secular humanist, postmodernist, and marxist libtards are able to have a subjectivistic, relativistic, pragmatist, morally neutral morality, which permits them to have a permissive morality, pluralistic morality,and experimental and alternative lifestyles where anything goes.

People should learn that God Bless America is a prayer not the national anthem.

There is only One who is true to self, the I AM of the Bible. We will some day experience life without the Holy Spirit restraining the evil ones who will take the mark. Imagine the horror of bernie and minions unleashed.

Screw you, New York Times. I am so sick of these anti-religion nut jobs. No one is forcing them to sing God Bless America.

Yup...”Even more critical is the necessity of reclaiming the language of religious freedom from the far right. As defined by many pandering politicians, “religious freedom” is in danger of becoming code for accepting public money while imposing faith-based values on others.”
This author who quoted Thomas Paine in defense of reason, should realize that the Judaic/Christian faith rule of loving your neighbor as yourself can not be surpassed by any other secular value and is in practice failed every day.

Despite the extraordinary swiftness and magnitude of this shift, our political campaigns are still conducted as if all potential voters were among the faithful.
That's probably because most non-religious types aren't automatically offended by the idea of religion - most of their friends and family are religious, they wouldn't dream of trying to trample on the faith of those who are religious, and the religious faith of candidates probably isn't what drives their voting decisions.
It's the devoutly atheist types, who've turned atheism into it's own religion, who view everything through that prism.

Great point. Don’t go ordering God to do stuff.

which permits them to have a permissive morality, pluralistic morality,and experimental and alternative lifestyles where anything goes. And yet, without the slightest sense of irony, they moralize like the worst preachers they condemn.
There really is nothing more ironic than a moralizing atheist.

‘Battle Hymn of the Republic’ is a fine song. May be too divisive because of its history, though.
