As a Jew, this kind of thing starts to make me wonder if I’m really welcome in certain parts of America after all. I thought we’d resolved this issue in the US Constitution, but apparently not. Silly me:
Missouri legislators in Jefferson City considered a bill that would name Christianity the state’s official “majority” religion.
House Concurrent Resolution 13 is pending in the state legislature.
[snip]
The resolution would recognize “a Christian god,” and it would not protect minority religions, but “protect the majority’s right to express their religious beliefs.
The resolution also recognizes that, “a greater power exists,” and only Christianity receives what the resolution calls, “justified recognition.”
What’s next, legalized discrimination on the basis of what religion you are?
