@healingwords, thanks for add that point about the colonial factor involved in propagating religion across various parts of the world. This negates the whole Christianity was always there in the USA argument. Whether it should stay is purely subjective but freedom to practice one’s faith without harming others is essential.

Glenda, I think I will elaborate a bit more – All the best to you. Good luck to you on “saving” us all from believing in what we believe, simply because it doesn’t agree with your thinking and scripture. If you believe that the path is indeed based on condemnation of those who wish to peacefully co-exist to appease the higher powers, I have nothing to say except, this world is in much need of more kindness, tolerance and solution-oriented approach, rather than adherence alone.
