    It’s almost like their religious affiliations don’t matter and they’re just doing their jobs as prescribed by the people who voted for them.

    Amazing.

        I think the point I’m trying to make is that I don’t care what religion somebody is as long as they do their jobs.

        As an atheist I believe completely that people should be able to believe and worship whoever they want within reason.

          @[email protected] yes. totally agree. just sharing Abdul’s response when questioned by a christian nationalist that wants to force their religion on everyone.

          those afraid of a muslim or Hindi or satanist politician are only afraid because they think everyone thinks like them and would force their beliefs on others.

          im sure there are plenty in all religions that would. but those people tend to be conservative politicians not progressive

      Religious affiliations don’t matter until they do.

      I encourage you to look at the fall of Yugoslavia.

        Americans are significantly less religious than the world average much less the historical average.

        I am actually quite aware of this.

        The CIA pitted the Muslims against the Christians to destabilize the country until the violent civil war.
