leicsmac Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 Just now, Bryn said: They don't, it's a Christian state. It's funny, the UK was founded as a Christian nation yet if you meet a proper Bible-thumper people will look at them in a funny way, whereas the US was constitutionally founded to be a secular state yet the fundies get so much power there.

Webbo Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 America was founded by non conformists so although they are more religious than us there isn't an official church in America like we have the CoE here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise the constitution said that.

The God stuff tends to date from the 50's when they were all scared of the communist heathens, so they started putting it on money to say "hey, we're not like them!"

Guest MattP Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 Certainly a different speech so far, I genuinely think he means this about transferring power from the establishment to the people. How the **** you try to do that and go about achieving it I have no idea, it's going to be interesting watching it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkon84 Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 Not too keen on the speech so far. He's just been sworn in, not trying to win votes in a working class city ffs. Hope he means it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
