    States cannot tax citizens for evangelistic purposes. It is well-established in the courts. It is a violation of the establishment clause and a gross violation (yes, I said a violation) of religious freedom…you know, to practice a religion that isn’t a Judeo-Christian one. Facts.

          It’s not about the bible at all. It’s about fundamentalist conservatives trying to make their fundamentalism more palatable to the masses. Lots of conservative ideals don’t mesh with Judaism at all, so they mask those ideals by hiding them within the shared history of both religions.

            You’re right that they don’t mesh with Judaism.

            They also don’t mesh with Christianity.

            The religion aspect of it is completely hollow; just a front used to mask being a hate group.
