Going back to the original topic. The thing people have to remember is... everything starts out small. This could start out as a town, then what if it grows and takes over a county, then a state, then maybe they want to leave the US and ACTUALLY become "Catholic Land" and decide to attack the rest of the world for having different beliefs? Obviously this is an exaggeration, but regardless. Religion should be kept out of politics. It's a dangerous mixture.

There are plenty of towns that are predominantly one religion. (Salt Lake City has a huge Mormon population for instance) There is nothing wrong with a group of people forming a town based on the ideals they all hold. I don't think it has anything to do with politics. Secondly, the only way a town could "take over" a state is if the majority of the state backed the towns principles and beliefs. Again, I don't see a problem with this.

i agree with that fact that Religion has no place in politic's i'm very very against it. I've been branded anti-religion before on here after all. But I mostly view this as a somewhat culty type thing starting up a commune. I don't agree with it, but i don't see who it'll effect other then those who choose to live there.

Thank you for bringing up Salt Lake City (which by the way does not have the most concentrated Mormon population...but whatever). That is why we weren't allowed to join the union for so long. They thought we'd try and overrun the country. Has anyone seen us taking over the country?

The Spanish paper notes that "of the nine judges, seven were appointed by conservative presidents." It adds that the current court is distinguished "by a majority of Catholics," members of "a religion that is practiced by a quarter of the [U.S.] population.

So according to your logic, the people are not represented because their representatives are religious?
What about all the religious people?
Oh I forgot, Religious people don't deserve to be represented, because they have a different viewpoint from an atheist, and atheists generally have all the nations best interests at heart. Right?

I think Kathy was saying that it's not representative to have a court composed of 7/9 catholics in a country where 1/4 of the population is catholic.

If one quarter of the judges were catholic, that would be representative.

Catholocism though, is only one christian denomination. It doesn't vary significantly in its theology from the other main christian denominations. What percentage of the populus is Christian?

Apparently, 76% of the US population is Christian. Obvously a statistic like that can't be taken to seriously as it makes no clarification as to how many are actually practicing.

Oh I know. Goodness knows my views and opinions don't matter as they are tainted by an evil religious dictator intent on converting the world one heathen at a time. As we all know, religion has no place in politics, and by extension, the people attached to said religion do not either. I mean really, how dare the faith community have a voice! What with all their crazy ideas and all.
