re: #199 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

The counter-argument (or rather, talking point) is that America is a CHRISTIAN nation and these other, “lesser” do not enjoy any Constitutional protections.

And the counter argument to that is the Constitution in no place names any religious faith, but does state there shall be no religious test for public office.

(That latter part was a bone of contention when I was elected, as the state constitution says you have to take an oath that includes “so help me God.” I noted to the village attorney that was unconstitutional and I would not do it. He contacted the state attorney general, who gave me a “dispensation” to affirm my oath rather than swear to God.)
