re: #447 Bubbaman

I would wholeheartedly disagree. We are not a Democracy but a Representative Republic. Further, we are not a Secular nation, but a country with no established religion. These are two very different things.

Frequently, I see people mistaking the meaning of Secular and interchangeably mixing it with the word non or a-religious. Again, these aren’t synonymous. To be “secular” means that one is concerned only with worldly things and has no belief in the religious, spiritual, or sacred. I would rightly argue that we, Americans are grounded in many things spiritual and have many ideals which are sacred.

We are not a “secular” nation as you put it, but one with no established religion.

i totally agree with your statement.

The phrase “One Nation Under God” is there for a reason.

the is a world of difference between a secular state like France, and a non-established-religion state like America.
