Yep thats the problem right there. It all comes down to oppression. A country that is ruled by religious beliefs is more prone to oppress it's people. Just look at what's happening with homosexual marriage today. Enough stuff is already illegal due to stupid (and in some cases unconstitutional) laws.
This country is supposed to be all about "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Instead it's being led toward "Fear, oppression and the praising of Jesus."
The redicuous thing is, many christians don't follow their religion's own beliefs. For example "Love thy neighbor as you love yourself". There sure are a lot of self-hating christians out there.
