Christianity isn't the law of the land and so we can't use it to make laws. Forcing Christianity on people is a great way to make them not Christian.

It's like forcing kids to go to church. Do that and they will leave church after they are an adult and not come back. Letting children who are old enough to stay home by themselves to decide whether to go or not and they will at least maintain some interest.

I agree with AOC on the super bowl ads, but I also think the football is American's national religion and as such it goes against a lot of Christian teaching. It's violent, the players are paid immoral amounts of money just to play ball, while we then make them into celebrities and people to honor even if they are despicable (just look at the scandal with Brett Favre who still manages to keep his good name in Christian circles despite what he's done to my state).

The Don't Say Gay bill is dangerous because you have children that have already come out as transgender, or children who have two mothers or two fathers who won't be able to tell their friends anything about their lives. Teachers are having to pull books, which is always bad. People can respect others without having to believe what they are doing is okay.
