Michael Flynn says of the US: 'We have to have one religion' | TheHill
Michael Flynn, former national security advisor in the Trump administration, on Saturday suggested that the United States should have a single religion.

Michael Flynn, former national security advisor in the Trump administration, on Saturday suggested that the United States should have a single religion.

"If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion," he said while speaking on "Reawaken America" Saturday night. "One nation under God, and one religion under God."

Responding to questions on the tour, Flynn, who has been known to repeat conspiracy theories in the past, also accused President Biden of election fraud, claims that have been proven to be false.

Later Saturday night, Ohio state treasurer and Senate candidate Josh Mandel (R) tweeted, apparently in response to Flynn's "Reawaken America" comments, "We stand with General Flynn."

Flynn has repeatedly garnered attention this year for making controversial statements.

He received backlash in July after joking about finding "somebody in Washington, D.C," while holding an AR-15. Just a few months later, he appeared to call for a coup similar to the one in Myanmar, where the country's military seized power and overtook the democratically elected government in February, to take place in the U.S.

Flynn served as Trump's first national security advisor until he resigned in February 2017, only 22 days into his tenure.

What are they going to do if they decided to have only one religion, say Native Americans can't pray in their own religious beliefs.....again. 

And who will decided which religion will be the one and only religion here in the US? 

Man...can you envision the battle among the religious groups to the 'Chosen One'. 

This may be one Pandora's box they wish they'd never opened.

Flynn has deified Trump in his own mind, and would have us worship him.

Also, Flynn swore an oath to defend the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion.  He has broken his oath.  He has no honor.

I'll just leave this here for the fact-free MAGAites to chew on,

Jefferson took the issue of religion very seriously. A man of the Enlightenment, he certainly applied to himself the advice which he gave to his nephew Peter Carr in 1787: "Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because, if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear." 1 Jefferson read broadly on the topic, including studying different religions, and while he often claimed that religion was a private matter “between Man & his God,” he frequently discussed religion.

and,

802 January 1. (Jefferson to the Baptist Association of Danbury, Connecticut). "Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."

As to the invocation of Jefferson, we know that when he and James Madison first proposed the Virginia Statute on Religious Freedom (the frame and basis of the later First Amendment to the Constitution) in 1779, the preamble began, “Well aware that Almighty God hath created the mind free.” Patrick Henry and other devout Christians attempted to substitute the words “Jesus Christ” for “Almighty God” in this opening passage and were overwhelmingly voted down. This vote was interpreted by Jefferson to mean that Virginia’s representatives wanted the law “to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahomedan, the Hindoo, and Infidel of every denomination.”

And this,

Washington's administration even negotiated a treaty with the Muslim rulers of north Africa that stated explicitly that the United States was not founded on Christianity. The pact, known as the Treaty with Tripoli, was approved unanimously by the Senate in 1797, under the administration of John Adams. Article 11 of the treaty states, "[T]he government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion…."

"If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion," he said while speaking on "Reawaken America" Saturday night. "One nation under God, and one religion under God."

It truly highlights the failure of education in the United States for anyone to ever want to bring back the days of

1.Henry the VIIIth breaking away from the "one" religion

2. Henry's daughter, Bloody Mary, burning people to death, to bring England back under the control of the "one" religion.

3. Henry's daughter, Elizabeth, becoming the head of the English church and having to fight against the head of the "one" religion trying to regain control of the throne.

In European countries, under the control of the "one" religion, people were persecuted, tortured and killed at the pleasure of the head of the "one" religion and his minions.

Why would any sane person, who was educated about the histories of countries with a mandated "one" religion, want to have to suffer through that in their lifetime?

3. Henry's daughter, Elizabeth, becoming the head of the English church and having to fight against the head of the "one" religion trying to regain control of the throne.

The Roman Catholic pope put a bounty on the head of Elizabeth I in order to regain control of the English throne.  At one time in history, the pope even had his own army, but it was more cost effective to just control countries via their monarchs.  Then the pope could make monarchs force the people into not only fighting the pope's battles, but to pay for the wars also.

Elizabeth I did execute the men who attempted to overthrow her rule and/or to assassinate her.

The answer, in context of every.single.thing upon which we were founded should be obvious. No if’s, ands, or buts…

Again, history shows us just how evil the "one" religion rule was and still is.  Natives in North and South America were enslaved via religious edict and the pain and suffering is still being lived today.

The Christian religion is a ponzi scheme about enslavement of the bottom and enrichment at the top.  Always has been.

The Pope asserts rights to colonize, convert, and enslave - Timeline - Native Voices (nih.gov)

AD 1493:   The Pope asserts rights to colonize, convert, and enslave

Pope Alexander VI issues a papal bull or decree, “Inter Caetera," in which he authorizes Spain and Portugal to colonize the Americas and its Native peoples as subjects. The decree asserts the rights of Spain and Portugal to colonize, convert, and enslave. It also justifies the enslavement of Africans.

“... Out of our own sole largess and certain knowledge and out of the fullness of our apostolic power, by the authority of Almighty God conferred upon us in blessed Peter and of the vicarship of Jesus Christ, which we hold on earth, do by tenor of these presents, should any of said islands have been found by your envoys and captains, give, grant, and assign to you and your heirs and successors, kings of Castile and Leon, forever, together with all their dominions, cities, camps, places, and villages, and all rights, jurisdictions, and appurtenances, all islands and mainlands found and to be found, discovered and to be discovered towards the west and south, by drawing and establishing a line from the Arctic pole, namely the north, to the Antarctic pole, namely the south, no matter whether the said mainlands and islands are found and to be found in the direction of India or towards any other quarter, the said line to be distant one hundred leagues towards the west and south from any of the islands commonly known as the Azores and Cape Verde. With this proviso however that none of the islands and mainlands, found and to be found, discovered and to be discovered, beyond that said line towards the west and south, be in the actual possession of any Christian king or prince up to the birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ just past from which the present year one thousand four hundred ninety-three begins.   And we make, appoint, and depute you and your said heirs and successors lords of them with full and free power, authority, and jurisdiction of every kind…”   —Pope Alexander VI, “Inter Caetera”

The RCC is no different than it has been throughout history.  It is all about power and money.

This is why people should be paying attention to ALL of the violations of separation of church and state that have occurred since W Bush started funneling money via executive order to churches beginning with his first term.  This has continued and expanded ever since. The RCC is the biggest beneficiary by far and now receives money for handling assorted welfare/social programs, handling adoptions, operating charter schools, processing and administering welfare/social/legal aid to immigrants/refugees  and no telling what else.

There is no way ANY of this should have happened.  The ACLU put up a token resistance and then nothing.  

We are actually losing a Holy War that most don't even realize is happening until someone like Flynn gains a headline.

You seem to have a serious problem with rational constructive replies in this thread. Does the idea of absolutely equal religious freedom for all people regardless of their belief or lack thereof create a significant problem for you? Can others force you to obey the ideas of  Islam, Buddhism, Paganism, Hinduism, Shinto, or other religions, by state mandate under the threat of fine or imprisonment, or is this a one way protestant Christian street for your partisan benefit

Conservatives have never supported either of the religious ideas of the First Amendment. They want a white protestant conservative America as a nod to the KKK.  The idea of equal religious freedom for all, including non-believers as well as the strict separation of church and state, were absolutely radical ideas in 1790. They are still radical today for evangelicals.

This is true. Some evangelicals say they support separation. But they demonstrate they do not when they object to laws (to the point of wanting them repealed) which contradict their beliefs, such as same sex marriage. The same can be true of abortion laws.
