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.

History spells it out perfectly.  

If Flynn and his ilk are educated and are advocating to a return of what it means to be a "Christian" nation with one religion, then they are truly among the most evil people who live among us today.

Below is just a small sampling of the atrocities committed against women when they have forced to endure life under "Christian" rule.

18 Reasons One is Executed for Witchcraft during the ‘Burning Times’ (historycollection.com)

15.   You were childless: When children fell ill for no apparent reason, it was often believed that the local childless woman had cursed them out of jealousy or spite

Many accusations of witchcraft were made after a child, or several children had fallen ill or even died suddenly for no obvious reason. Indeed, the most famous witch trial of all, the  Salem Witch Trial , came about after small children in the Massachusetts village started suffering from seizures.

Eunice Cole, sometimes also known as ‘ Goody Cole ‘ was a New Hampshire woman accused of witchcraft on three occasions during the 1660s and 1670s. On each occasion, the fact that she and her husband didn’t have children of their own was brought up as proof that she was a witch. While she escaped execution, Cole served three spells in prison. Moreover, when she died, it’s believed her neighbors drove a stake through her heart and buried her in an unmarked grave so that their children would be safe from her malicious spells.

14. If you were sexually progressive: Sex outside of marriage has long been frowned upon, but in the 17 th   century, it could get you hanged for being a witch

For most of history, women were expected to follow strict roles. This was especially true when it came to sex and sexuality.

13. You talked to yourself: As the Salem Witch Trials showed, simply muttering under your breath could be seen as being a sign of black magic

Lots of people talk to themselves on occasion. At most, it’s seen as a harmless affliction. Not so in the 17 th   century. Back then, being seen muttering to yourself may be taken as evidence of being possessed by evil spirits or of casting spells on your neighbors.

12. You didn’t dress smartly enough: In some witch trials, an individual’s refusal to dress like everyone else was seen as something distinctly sinister

At the height of the 17 th   century’s   witch hunts , even something as seemingly insignificant as the clothes you wore could mark you out as a witch – and lead to your eventual trial and execution. Suspicion of different dress was especially strong in the Puritan communities of North America. And, again, it was women who were expected to follow strict dress codes, and who would be judged the most harshly if they attempted to show any individual taste of sense of style. Bridget Bishop, one of the first people arrested during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 found this out the hard way.

Bridget was hauled before the court in June of that year, the first of the accused to face the grand jury on charges of witchcraft. The prosecution made a point of stressing that she wore black clothing and “odd costumes”. Both were against the Puritan dress code. What’s more, her coat was shown to be torn and weathered. This, along with her so-called “immoral lifestyle” (what exactly this meant is not clear) was regarded by the grand jury as enough to convict Bishop on all the charges brought against her. One week later,   she was hanged .

9. You were financially independent: Sexist beliefs in the subservience of women meant that those who didn’t need a man’s support were often suspected as witches

Back in the 16 th   and 17 th   centuries, independent women – that is, women who lived alone, without a man to support them – were often viewed with suspicion.

What’s more, women who could read and write, or who showed obvious signs of intelligence or learning, might often come under suspicion, as might a woman who knew how to perform ‘manly’ tasks or even knew how to swim!

8. You were left-handed: According to many traditions, there was something ‘sinister’ about being left-handed, and it was seen as one obvious sign that someone was a witch

Witch-hunters were always on the look out for things that made people – or, more likely, women – stand out. And since, statistically speaking, most people are right-handed, being left-handed was often seen as being the mark of a witch. This wasn’t just during the high point of the European and North American witch hunts in the 16 th   and 17 th   centuries. Suspicion of left-handedness has been around for centuries. It’s even been called ‘ a mark of the devil ‘, and so any woman seen using their left hand for writing or for other common, everyday tasks, might have found herself under suspicion of practicing dark magic.

The Church were at the forefront of promoting suspicion of left-handers. Priests and bishops would cite passages from the Bible to support the idea of left-handedness being the   sign of the devil ; for instance, the Gospel of Saint Matthew warns that, on Judgement Day, the righteous will pass to God’s right, while the sinners will be sent to the left.  

7. You had a cat: For centuries, people really did believe that women who lived alone with cats for company were probably in league with the devil

6. You were a midwife: Wise women used their knowledge of herbal medicine to help others give birth safely – but it left them open to accusations of witchcraft

For hundreds of years, female healers were viewed with suspicion. Above all, midwives were at risk of being seen as witches. They just couldn’t win: if a woman gave birth to a healthy baby and lived, the midwife would be accused of having used magic or   making a deal with the devil . Or if the baby or mother died, the midwife might also be blamed and accused of cursing the birth. Fueling this suspicion was midwives’ use of herbs and other natural remedies. The fungus ergot was used to stop bleeding after childbirth, for example, often saving the mother’s life, but putting the midwife at risk of being accused of casting spells.

The   Malleus Maleficarum , meaning “Hammer of Witches” was written in 1484 by two reverends, Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenge. The hugely influential book called midwife-witches the ultimate evil.  

5. You had a third nipple: Prosecutors were always on the lookout for tell-tale ‘signs of a witch’, especially on female bodies

For centuries, witch-hunters believed that sorcerers and other practitioners of black magic bore distinctive marks. Tell-tale ‘ Devil’s Marks ‘ included third nipples, otherwise known as the ‘witch’s teat’ as it was thought that Satan himself would suckle on it. What’s more, birthmarks and large moles would also be taken as signs of the occult. Since witch-finders maintained that the devil would change the shape and color of the marks he made on his followers, almost any physical imperfection or skin blemish could be enough to see someone accused of being a witch.

4. You were illiterate: Even if you were dyslexic or just hated speaking in public, failure to quote fluently from the Bible might be seen as a sign of being possessed by evil

The Middle Ages was no time to be a dyslexic or to suffer from a stammer. Even a common affliction like struggling to speak in public could see you put on trial for witchcraft. That’s because it was believed that witches were unable to recite prayers or passages from the Bible.

3. You forgot to throw out old dairy products: Believe it or not, curdled milk was offered up as evidence that women were witches

2. You had a reputation for being argumentative: Nobody liked or trusted an assertive woman back in the 16 th   and 17 th   centuries

If being an independent woman was enough to set tongues wagging at the height of ‘witch hysteria’ in the 16 th   and 17 th   centuries, then being assertive and argumentative was almost guaranteed to get you labeled a witch. While men might have been able to get away with arguing with their neighbors, women could not – especially those who lived alone, without a man to ‘control’ them. Being drunk and disorderly was no excuse, nor was being in an abusive relationship – as Rachel Clinton found out to her cost in Salem in 1692.

1. You had made enemies: In many cases, people were accused of being witches by neighbors bearing grudges and seeking revenge

The last person to be  executed for witchcraft in Switzerland , for instance, did nothing worse than bring a love affair to an end. Anna Goldi had embarked on an affair with a rich politician whilst employed as the family nanny. When she brought the affair to an end, the powerful man denounced her as a witch. He even claimed that she had used black magic to make his daughter suffer from convulsions. She was also accused of talking with the devil. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Goldi ‘confessed’ to all charges – though only after she had been strung up by just her thumbs – and she was executed soon after.

The concept of witches was most likely invented by men, who could use women's differences and talents, as a means to control them or to eliminate them if they could not be controlled.

Maybe, to a point.  Speaking of personal experience, I was driven to spend a large part of my life reading, learning and thinking about just about anything and everything.  I have found that being academic has not been beneficial to personal interaction with people who do not value knowledge and debate.

I have spent the last few months hanging out with Nietzsche.

I have found Nietzsche's 10 Life Lessons would be far more beneficial to most people than anything in the Bible.   Good people don't need a reason to be good.  It is evil people who need an excuse to control others that need that invented religion as a tool to control/harm others.

Without the Christian religion, women would not have to continue to fight for the right to control their own body today because according to the Christian religion we are nothing more than broodstock.  

Why do we ever allow men like Flynn to hold positions of power in the United States?  Haven't we spent trillions of dollars fighting his exact same mindset in the Middle East?

Great easy to read and understand web site for those who are interested in an overview of how religion has been and always will be detrimental to society and especially women.

Christian Persecution of Witches, Witchcraft, and Women (learnreligions.com)

The   perception of women as inferior to men , and possibly the enemy of proper religious or social order, has survived down through this day in the most conservative and fundamentalist religious movements around the world. Religious institutions and doctrines are a primary repository for ancient beliefs about the social, physical, political, and religious inferiority of women. Even if the rest of society is moving on and improving women's status, religion remains the main source of beliefs and attitudes which retard that progress in the hopes of reversing it completely. And, where women cannot be attacked directly, they are attacked indirectly through negative stereotypes about "feminine" values as compared to positive stereotypes of "manly" or "masculine" traits.

It would be a mistake to assert that the Christian persecution of witches and witchcraft was nothing but an attempt to suppress women and feminine influences. Christian society, politics, and   theology   at the time simply weren't that simplistic. At the same time, it's hard to overestimate the role of misogynistic attitudes and repressed male sexuality played in the persecution of witches. It seems likely that if they didn't exist, the extreme violence directed at women and alleged witches probably wouldn't have occurred.
The persecution of witches reached its zenith at a time when Christianity's attitudes against sex had long since turned into full-blown misogyny. It is amazing how  celibate  men became obsessed with the sexuality of women. As it is stated in Malleus Maleficarum: "All witchcraft comes from carnal  lust , which is in women insatiable." Another section describes how witches were known to "...collect male organs in great numbers, as many as twenty or thirty members together, and put them in a bird's nest."

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”

Neither has ever been rescinded by the RCC. In fact, the Doctrine of Discovery was used by SCOTUS (Marshall Trilogy) to justify taking land from NA's, Johnson vs McIntosh, it was last used in 2008 in a court case.

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.
