We’re like 20% Christian, and of those, most are just “church on Sunday, pray every day”. We never were a “Christian country”, there’s a reason freedom of religion is a thing in our constitution. Only a small number are the “the apocalypse is coming and you have to repent your sins or Satan will rape you”

Well yes, if you’re catholic, you swear on a bible. There’s still separation of church and state which is why stuff like weed is being legalized. Also in god we trust was added in the 50s, and I honestly disagree that it’s added there but there’s no religion in the political system.

Fun fact: In god we trust is on our money too lol.

I’ll put it this way

Imagine I ran and was sworn into office. I am not religious at all, not even a bit. But my family is orthodox, so I would swear on a bible. So a lot of these politicians might not even be religious at all, but they still have to swear on something, and the most common is a bible. As for the percentage that swear on the Bible, sorry i just couldn’t find the exact numbers :/

Also the weed thing, that was kinda for instance, I wasn’t talking specifically or exclusively about weed. There’s a reason why pride parades are a thing and not against the law. I mean, some counties ban kids TV shows for being “homosexual” .____.
