American Politics and Religion in 2024: Separation of Church and State is Still a YAY or NAY!

As a member of the Medium.com writing community (view my writer's profile).  Not only do I enjoy writing content but I also enjoy reading and commenting on the articles of my fellow writers.

Pills for Thoughts published an article titled "In the Shadow of the Guillotine". It is an excellent read and he shares many informational links in his article for further exploration. After reading, I left comments.  On Medium, responses to comments appear on your profile but they are not counted in your list of stories.  I often re-share my comments with readers who visit my blog.  The article includes these statements:
"Along with the decline of democratic institutions, the interplay between religion and politics also continues to significantly shape global socio-political landscapes, even in countries that proclaim to have a clear separation between religion and state."
The comments below are my thoughts.


The GOP is trying HARD to UN-separate religion and politics. Is it because they are devoted believers? NO! It's because they need to create a DISTRACTION to cause DIVISION.

That's how religion is used in the USA. Republicans use religion to get VOTES for themselves or steal votes by making people become UNDECIDED.

BY CONTRAST, Putin uses the church as a HAMMER!! If he can't get the citizenry to submit to his will, he uses "the Lord" to beat them into submission. People who are religious fear God more than they fear man. So he just gets somebody in the church to tell them they need to obey him because his will is God's will.

Yes, I'm pointing a finger at Republicans. I'm not calling the Democrats heathens. They just don't use religion that way. This is an important distinction in today's American political arena.

I can't speak for other faiths, but in the Christian scriptures, the Apostle Peter talks about people who "wrestle with scriptures".. That's what the GOP does. It's a wrestling match because they are trying to get the scripture to FIT their political agenda,

It wearies me to watch Speaker Mike Johnson and the rest of the GOP carrying on like that. Seriously! I get exhausted watching them act up! But hey! This is America.
