Socially the US is primarily secular, and has been primarily secular for a very long time. Part of the benefit of freedom of religion is that the state doesn't impose religious doctrine on anyone and religious institutions do not impose their doctrines on the state. Coupling the church (and by that I mean religion in general) to the state corrupts both.

I doubt that will happen. Christianity is ebbing as a political and social force and has been for a while. The fact of the matter is that the mainline forms of Christianity are not a threat to the state so the state has no reason to be a threat to them.

Quote:I don't see Trump as religious at all, but  I don't expect him to attack Christianity.

He isn't religious at all, and even Sanders who is Jewish wouldn't attack Christianity. They both think the country has bigger problems than the perhaps least offensive of the Abrahamic Religions.

Quote:If Clinton is elected, I would expect increasing pressure against Christian values.

HRC is a threat to human values, period. Full Stop.
