A map about people who paid attention in history and government class vs those who didn’t.
Exactly. Grew up Christian and it convinced me to be agnostic. Even then, I still would never add religious beliefs to the teaching of children early in life, when they clearly lack intelligent decision making skills.
I think teaching about religion is fine and actually good for interacting with people outside your culture. Teaching of a specific religion is where you run into trouble.
I had a unit early on in school and another one in my early teens where we basically learned about the origins of a bunch of different religions and cultures surrounding them. Learned a lot about people that otherwise would seem unapproachable to me.
Yeah, are you ever convinced as an agnostic? I thought, that was the point.
i’d say it’s totally logical to be 100% convinced that you can’t be convinced of god’s existence or non-existence
I wouldn’t agree to the logical part, but sure. It was more a harmless joke than me trying to win an argument or something. =)
The point of the establishment clause is that it shouldn’t matter what the majority says about religion. It should mean exactly nothing. Tyranny of the majority shouldn’t be allowed to make non-Christians into second class citizens.
I thought that the deeply religious states were more of a minority. Yikes.
They are. Those areas are thinly populated.
Ohio and Florida are thinly populated? Texas has a large area but also population.
Ohio is mostly corn and “Hell is real” billboards.
Yeah but it also has the 7th highest population in the country and a higher population density than California, somehow.
California is also big.
I’m saving this for when the civil war is about to break out and I need a rough estimate of where the front lines will be.
If there’s a civil war, Michigan will quickly be appropriated to Canada.
The only states id maybe be interested in as a Canadian is California, New York and Washington (also Maine because why do they even extend so far into Québec?).
For real though, with the Democrats response to Trump, I don’t really want them anywhere near Canadian politics. They’d make our Liberals look socialist
Don’t forget Minnesota, they’re pretty good
