You better not read Federalist #2 then.

John Jay wasn’t remotely politically correct, and I fear that you would be greatly offended at his failure to embrace the whole world.

“I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people—a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.”

My first and foremost loyalty is to the Constitution of the United States. Unfortunate inconvenience for most who would like to force ideology on others. The Constitution defends the rights of the sole individual over the whims of the mass collective. If we deviate from and not respect that truth we will soon be sharia law because it will be the NEW whim of the masses. Wanting a strict universal national religion opens the door for a new one to replace it. Every step of the way we need to fight against ALL forms of nationalized religion and respect the individual’s right to choose without persecution.

Is everyone so blind they do not see that Christianity is next up on the chopping block? And all because the individual freedom of religion is NOT respected even by Christians? They are stepping on their own toes and opening the door for something truly evil none of us need or want by wanting to compromise true individual freedom of religion. My whole point is we had better be cautious of what we wish for. Because in the end it will backfire and IT WILL NOT BE what we actually want.
