The United States is not a Wiccan nation. It’s a Christian nation.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The United States is a country where every single person has the right to worship as they see fit. As far as the government is concerned, a person’s religious beliefs are between that person and God. It is none of the governments danged business.

Are you saying we should outlaw Wiccan (or any other religion) because the majority of people in the US are Chrisitans? Are you saying Wiccans (or people of any other religious faith) have fewer rights to practice their religion than Christians.

I am a Christain. Probably more fundamentalist than 90% of Christians in the US, but I believe every single American has the right to worship as they see fit.

I never said they’re not allowed to worship as they see fit. That would be unchristian of me to dictate to others how they must live their lives. What I’m saying is, however, in terms of *official functions* of *government entities*, the US, founded on Christian principles by Christians, has no obligation to allow self-described witches and the like to hold their religious ceremonies through them.

To put it another way: congress has an official prayer to open up sessions. They don’t have a traditional beltane rite.
