Can the country be unified?

[BidenPresident]

It can.

But the problem is that too many Americans do not believe in democracy.

That is the problem. You cannot unify a nation if a large minority does not even want a democracy.

the country has never been unified in its history the unity thing went out the window when the United States bought Catholic Louisiana and it's been non-unified ever since. The country is in the process of traditioning from the old school Christian values to the new school human values. The idea that fundamentalist Christians will ever unify with atheists is absurd. The idea that lgbtqia will ever unify with people based on hate is absurd.

The Enlightenment in Europe was about overthrowing the power of the Church. Not to make religion illegal but to make it secondary to the authority of the political state.

Lets hope that the fundamentalist Christians die off, and don't get replaced.

Fundamental Christians tend to be older and atheists tend to be younger

And that's a sort of philosophy our country is founded on but has never really totally been followed

[BidenPresident]

And that's a sort of philosophy our country is founded on but has never really totally been followed

Because we never actually had an Enlightenment.

ELECTION FRAUD/LEFT =/= "DEMOCRACY".

Stop this. You are a troll.

Fundamental Christians tend to be older and atheists tend to be younger

Older atheists often become believers adding to the disparity between the two groups.

From the article...

The constant: Belief in God grows with age

Belief is highest among older adults. On average, 43 percent of those aged 68 and older are certain that God exists, compared with 23 percent of those 27 and younger, according to the report.

It’s an older article but the truth seems to remain constant. That as unbelievers age, many more of them become believers than the other way around. It is something I constantly research.

As you get old you fear death.

I have no doubt that is one reason for the numbers.

It’s ironic, but it actually takes a measure of faith to believe [and believe is the operative word] that humans are just a fancy arrangement of atoms.

I think it’s also true that people *generally* become more conservative as they grow older.

It’s also interesting that in a thread on unity people would be talking about how great it would be if older Christians would just die off faster lol.
