The US is a secular republic, and you don’t get to operate as a public employee or even private business owner in violation of civil rights, including public accommodations, laws on the basis of religious objections. Thus also you can’t legally refuse to serve Jews in your pizzeria or issue a mixed Jewish/Christian or Muslim couple a marriage license because you have a religious belief that “the Jews” killed Christ or that Allah and the Prophet forbid it. You want to be able legally to refuse such things or refuse homosexual couples marriage licenses? Join the clergy. Civil rights law applies to a lesser extent in houses of worship. But a pizzeria or a clerk’s office isn’t a church, a mosque, or a synagogue.

If you think that we are a secular Republic, you will no doubt be astounded to learn that Jesus is mentioned in the US Constitution and that the President is explicitly exempted from working on the Sabbath. And lest you think this is some how a mistake, the Articles of Confederation, also mention God and Jesus prominently in the document. The Declaration of Independence, which is the document which actually founded the nation, also bases it's claim to independence from rights given by God.

Also Abraham Lincoln would disagree with you. He thinks we are a Christian nation.

No, we have been lied to and deliberately misinformed about this. We were NOT founded as a Secular Nation. We were founded as one that recognized different of the 13 states had different official state religions which were all denominations of Christianity, but denominations with different doctrines, and concerned about how they would be treated if one denomination was chosen as the official religion.

The exclusions of religious tests to hold office were done to allay they fears of differing states with different dominant denominations, not to create a "secular" government.

But we have long been lied to and mislead about this.

in violation of civil rights

Our "civil rights" laws continually trample and crush our Natural and Constitutional rights.

You are quite ignorant, although you don’t comprehend the magnitude of it quite yet.

Are you ignorant of the 1st amendment? Are you ignorant of natural law?

You are definitely and absolutely ignorant of God’s law!

Daniel 5
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.

you are an idiot who seems to have taken the speaking points of the media who have no idea who is supposed to make laws and now you make straw man arguments.

The law in KY and was back when she took an oath was clear. Marriage is between one man and one woman. 5 black robed tyrants or activists think they can now make laws and we should accept them.

You’re either an idiot who can’t grasp the basics or you are a troll, either way you need to brush up on who makes laws and get away from the media’s talking points.
