So America is only for people of whatever flavor of Christianity you belong to? If that’s case, why don’t we have a theocracy? Why does the 1st Amendment exist as written?

Am I misunderstanding you?

So America is only for people of whatever flavor of Christianity you belong to?

No. But its foundations are firmly fixed in Christian ideals. And our institutions cannot possibly endure without Christian morality.

John Adams:

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other."

If that’s case, why don’t we have a theocracy?

Because we have a free republic, not a theocracy.

The threat of "theocracy" is nothing more than a boogie-man of the Left.

Why does the 1st Amendment exist as written?

To protect us from governmental tyranny against our God-given rights. You know, the way government is now tyrannizing us in the name of the humanistic, godless love affair with homosexuality.

Am I misunderstanding you?

Probably.
