   American Pledge or Mien Fuhrer?

We have all heard that the U.S. was founded on religion. The question is: what is wrong with the people that keep saying it? Well, I can’t answer that, but I will show why each of the major reasons they give for this ignorant belief are very wrong. A belief by the way, that could be corrected by them spending as little as five minutes researching each subject.

Swearing on the Bible

If the country isn’t based on religion, why do people have to swear on the bible for public office or in court? The short answer is: they don’t. It’s not anywhere in the U.S. Constitution or any kind of law. In fact the wording in the U.S. Constitution suggests that religious crap had been intentionally left out. Like the part about no kind of religious test for any kind of public office. So what started the whole swearing on the bible? I don’t know and I don’t give a shit. The point is, people make it seem like it’s required merely by acting like you need to do it. Also by being offended that you don’t want to do it. Like me choosing not swear on some silly, childrens, fairy tale book some how hurts them.

The founding fathers were religious

Wow. Really? You think that religious people can only make religiously oriented things? So if a Christian makes a cheeseburger with bacon, then that is not just a bacon-cheeseburger, but a religious bacon-cheeseburger. Because if the person making the cheeseburger is a Christian, then it must be a Christian cheeseburger. Here’s one for ya, what if an atheist made a Bible? Would the Bible not be religious because an atheist made it? It has the same words as Bibles made by Christians. How could you tell if your Bible wasn’t made by an atheist?

But seriously, the founding fathers knew what they were doing, when they made the country a secular country. You see, the founding fathers came from a magical country where religion had control over the government and the people. So because the founding fathers saw first hand how bad a nation is when religion is in control, they decided to not let religion get in the way of a free nation.

“Under God” is in the pledge of allegiance

For some reason people have the incorrect idea that the pledge of allegiance not only was created when the country was formed, but also that it included “under God” when it was written. Well since the pledge of allegiance was written in 1892 and the “under God” part was added in 1954… I guess that means that the country was founded on religion.

Hey, wake up you retards. Jesus fucking Christ on a stick (new wrapped in bacon flavour now available). Seriously, it would take you 20 minutes to drive to a library, look a book up on their computers, find it, and read about the history of the pledge of allegiance. Or you could sit here and look it up on teh enter tubes.

“Under God” in the pledge is not proof that the country was founded on religion, it’s proof that a huge bag of religious douches, want to drive our country into the ground and create a biased, religious, hate filled, fearful, ignorant and obedient country. Well, fuck obedience. Always think for yourself and question authority.

“In God We Trust” is printed on our money

The words “In God We Trust” was not originally on our money. It started after the American Civil war on a 2 penny piece. Because some asshole thought that if we had a constant reminder on our money that we should trust in God, that things like the American Civil War won’t happen again. Yes, that makes sense. Because we didn’t have something about God on our money, it resulted in a civil war.

It is stupid to think that there were no religious people on one side of the civil war. Come on, they were all Americans. The south wanted to be free of the United States oppressive slavery abolishing ways and even went as far as having their own president. The South was upset because the federal government was trying to take away their right to take away other peoples rights. God fearing jerks were on both sides of the battle, so I don’t see how printing some inane God message on our money would have prevented the war.

What Does it Matter?

So in closing, the United States of America was not founded on religion, but arrogant, selfish, scared religious nutters are turning it into a religious nation. Why does this matter? It doesn’t. Even if the country was founded on a religion, it doesn’t mean that that is the way it should be. If the U.S. Government weren’t secular, I would be fighting to make it that way, just as I fight to prevent it from becoming religious and to remove the religious bullshit that ignorant religious ass hats snaked in.

How can a country proclaim “freedom for all” while trying to create a religiously biased government? So do you like freedom? I hope you do, because no matter if you believe in God or not, the Government needs to remain secular to protect us all.
