Because your small handgun is going to do so much a against a hydrogen bomb. A state will almost always resist violent change if it has the backing of its military. If it doesn't, then the revolution will usually just result in a military dictatorship.

It’s not about religion, it’s about the freedom to explore thought and reason freely and believe whatever conclusion you arrive at without government intervention or hostility.

Given the historical context, Benjamin Franklin intended the opposite of what you think the statement means; he was chiding a Pennsylvania estate for using their liberty to evade levies at the expense of the safety of frontier towns. Accept it or not, the founding fathers were obsessed with safety; the safety of: * intensely beauracratic government, * exhaustive laws, * military defense to the extent of endowing the right of all citizens to possess essential firearms, * comprehensive levies, their equivalent of income tax, to fund centralized government, * electoral protections against populist rule, * etc The founding fathers understood that liberty must be limited in scope yet clearly defined to protect the sovereignty of US democracy from domestic and foreign threats. Carved into many US government buildings is John Locke's "Where law ends, tyranny begins." Law & order curbs liberty for the sake of safety. And if you are unwilling to sacrifice some liberty for our nation's safety, then you "deserve neither Liberty nor Safety," as Benjamin Franklin intends.

At its core, religion is nothing more than a philosophy that is either based on a theistic belief or non-theistic belief. If one philosophy is not allowed to dominate, another type of philosophy always fills the void. Just because a philosophy is allowed to dominate a society doesn't necessarily mean it is being "shoved" down someone's throat. In my opinion, philosophies that are built on lies are usually the philosophies that society in general tries to shove down the throat of its citizens because part of a lying tactic is forcing you to believe the lie by any means necessary. A philosophy built on lies keeps a list of people who aren't "towing the line." A philosophy built on lies has gate keepers in the media and other corporate/government offices. A philosophy built on lies is forcibly reinforced in the education system and anyone that goes against the grain is publicly mocked and ridiculed. A philosophy built on lies is forcibly reinforced in the corporate world and if you don't agree with said philosophy, you could get demoted, fired, and or blackballed from the industry. A philosophy built on lies usually filters its way into society and you cannot escape it no matter where you go or what you do. On the other hand, a philosophy built on truth simply lets you be because it will not force you to believe something you don't want to believe. You either believe the truth or you don't.

You're blaming religion were you should be blaming people who feel self-empowered by their narcissitic belief that believing in a higher power makes them superior. The Bible preaches humility. You don't get concepts like 'principles', 'decency' & 'law' from any non-secular teachings. You only get Authoritarianism.

There's a large amount of conservatives that are christian nationalists. They claim to fight for religious freedom, but in reality they want to remove religious freedom from anyone that isn't christian. Democrats tend to care more about freedom for people of any faith, while conservatives tend to care only about christians and that's not okay.

The irony here being that religion isn’t at times tolerant of others. And has been one of the main reasons for millions of deaths and suffering over the years.

Coach Kennedy wasn t fired. They didn t rehire him after he repeatedly ignored the warning they simply had enough. It wasn t just him praying, but he turned his prayer into a mass event. Stick with the facts. I am rather conservative and traditionalist. Against woke culture, identity politics and cancel culture, but I stick with facts. I don t need fiction to uphold my beliefs. You are invested in an ideology, not in truth. It sickens me.

After watching this, I am left with several questions. 1) What about the American Revolution led you to believe that religion was its fundamental basis? - I see liberty as its fundamental basis, the right to be represented and consent to the manner in which you are governed (though, importantly, not in every part - just that all parties' rights are respected and not violated by government actions, regardless of whether they line up with your ideology on, say, tax rates), with religious freedom being a secondary goal. If you can point to some primary sources that show this intent I would be quite happy to see them. 2) Where is your evidence that religious freedom is being actively threatened in America? - Sure, you pointed to a few court cases. But you won those. To actively curtail religion requires a radical reinterpretation of the First Amendment, one that I don't even see Democrats supporting, considering their more moderate Catholic support. The lockdowns? Isn't there a valid argument that shutting down every building except religious institutions is inherently promoting religious activity? Yes, the "free exercise" clause can be interpreted to prevent such regulations, but the "establishment" clause can refute that argument as previously stated. Again, this claim requires more evidence to prove than just stating it and pointing to a few court cases. Where is the overall trend?

1) religion (more specifically Christianity) had a big role in the American revolution, most of our founding fathers were Christians and the ones who weren’t didn’t disagree with the rest of the founding fathers, most of America’s laws were biblical laws token from the Ten Commandments, the purpose of separation of church (you may know that law as an anti religious law but it was founded as the opposite) was in fact the exact opposite of getting rid of religion, it was made so that the church could not interfere with the government and the government could not interfere with the church so the government could not interfere with religion in any way. Even pastors helped in the American revolution they led armies to wars and the bell that rung when a battle was about to start came from a church bell, pastors helped shape Christians and Christians shaped the government. 2) religious freedom has been targeted actively for a very long time since the 1960’s when the Supreme Court changed the meaning of separation of church to where religion could no longer be practiced publicly but only in private the first thing they did was ban school prayer because it was against the new law of separation of church, then they started banning the silliest stuff that just so happened to do with religion, such as the Ten Commandments poster in a classroom or a Bible verse or if a teacher said a Bible verse, anything that has to do with religion and is shown publicly they will quickly remove it ASAP

@@xxmodzhaxsxx7910 Thank you, I appreciate your thoughts. However, examining primary sources will show you that a lot of the Founders considered themselves Deists, as opposed to Christians. The principles are similar, so in this case, it is a distinction without much of a difference, as they would likely agree with Christians today in saying that fundamental rights are granted by a creator God (which is what is relevant here), but Deists do reject the divinity of Jesus and the concept of miracles (if you are wondering what the main difference is). I appreciate your understanding of the nuance of the Founders, though; I think you are pointing to Jefferson and his concept of separation of church and state. Sure, Jefferson did write that in a letter - but what was his intent? Keep in mind, he attended church in the capitol building - IN the CAPITOL! - and did not seem to object to its presence there. While we cannot be entirely certain why he included the "wall of separation" in his letter, it is highly unlikely that he meant to completely separate religion and religious beliefs from the political sphere. I would agree with that anti-Machiavellian sentiment: politics DO have a relation to morals, especially in cases like assisted suicide, abortion, and the death penalty where they are moral questions just as much as political ones. He would not have penned the concept of a Creator into the Declaration had he believed that religion had no place in politics. Yet it was liberty, not religion, that guided the Revolution: the Constitution includes in its Preamble "...to secure the BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY..." (emphasis added) as one of the primary goals of American government. It was "Principles," Jefferson wrote in the Declaration, that guided them, not purely religion or religious liberty, but more accurately political liberty and the right to be represented in the body that governs you. Religious liberty may be necessary, though that is something that must be proven - and in light of this five-minute video, I remain unconvinced. As for your second point, I am unfortunately not familiar with the 1960's case you are referring to. Do you happen to know the name of that case? Are you citing the Engel v. Vitale school prayer ban? In a separate case, the right of a coach to ask for a moment of silence - with a possible implication of prayer, as I believe the coach was a man of faith - was upheld (unfortunately, the name of that case slips my mind at the moment, but the Supreme Court did rule in their favor, I believe). The recent Montana case where school-choice scholarships were being denied to Catholic schools had a Supreme Court verdict in favor of the Catholic schools on the grounds that grants for private institutions should not exclude institutions on the basis of religion. See, here are examples in recent times of pro-religious-freedom decisions. Again, where is the anti-religious trend? I simply do not see it.

Exactly right

Well said 👏👏👏

Indoctrination is a word that’s most often used to scare people into hating religion for no reason. Some say raising a child in a religious faith is indoctrination, but by that logic, anything you teach to a child is indoctrination. Raising your kid to be an atheist? That’s indoctrination. Raising them with good manners? That’s indoctrination. Raising them to not say any swear words? I think you get the idea. No matter what you do, kids will always be indoctrinated into something. Indoctrination is an inevitability

what the hell are you talking about? repeating to a child that there is only one God, and scare the hell out of him, and there is no other truth, that is indoctrination. telling a child that there are different views, giving him or her responsibilities, and letting a child choose, and express, and develop his or her personal idea, that is no indoctrination. being an atheist is the opposite of being indoctrinated. raising them with good manners is not indoctrination. you are broadening the meaning of indoctrination just like some woke people do with racism. stick to the literal meaning please

@@LeoJS98 I’m not broadening the meaning, I’m sticking to the definition of the word. I ain’t broadening nothing. Also if you let your child choose, then all you’re doing is leaving the indoctrinating to someone else. No matter how you slice it, children will be indoctrinated into a certain way of thinking no matter what, it’s an inevitability.

@@LeoJS98 So teaching someone that something is true and that there's no other truth is indoctrination? In that case teaching math is indoctrination because in math you teach that there's only one truth to math questions. You sound so stupid.

I disagree. When they come for your guns, then you will not have the means to defend any other right...

You still wouldn’t have any means to defend your rights. I agree that gun rights are important for self defense, but an AR-15 won’t put a dent in the United States’ military might. If they want to attack or oppress us, they can and will. Thankfully, they don’t, and we can keep them from doing so with our ballot boxes.

@@luizdiaz5196 That's like comparing apples to freight trains. Considering that taxpayers pour billions of dollars annually into the military, we still wouldn't stand a chance. Even if every single gun owner in the U.S. had an AR-15 or other semi-auto civilian rifle, that's nothing compared to the F/A-18s and such of the military. The only thing you'd get out of having an AR in a tyrannical government apocalypse would be protecting yourself from other civilians. This is why the primary function of firearms is to protect yourself not from the military or government, but from other civilians and criminals.

Amen !

Amazing Video. God bless America 🙏.

The hole of left behind by denying God leaves man hating those who are free under God to be different. It wasn’t how you had God that set us free from hate but that you had God. We are not divided between having or not having religion, but having or not having God. How you have God is not the question, it is if you have God.

I agree, but The Wiccan pentacle was added to the list of emblems allowed in national cemeteries and on government-issued headstones of fallen soldiers in 2007, and they had to sue to get it. Y'all do not care about attacks on religion unless it's your religion under attack

freedom from religion is an important part of freedom. religion is inherently authoritarian, god is an authority who dictates how people should live. respect everyone's right to worship but do not let their doctrines hold any mandate over our lives.

Atheists are some of the most authoritarian people on the planet, I know this from talking to enough of them.

I may not be a very religious person, i dont go to church, i dont read the bible and i dont pray, i used to be a millitant atheist and i mean that. But i also believed that people must be free to think and feel as they do so something had to give because religions is about how you think and feel so i discarded my millitant atheism because it was something which required a thought police and i would never ever support that. My freedom to think and feel like i do is predicated upon freedom of religion. I may not agree with everyone which i am sure no one does but i will let them think like they do, i will not seek to hurt or otherwise make their life miserable, because i do not want them to seek to hurt me or make my life miserable.

Very informative
