Doesn't this have the same weight as pushing one religion on the majority of the people because the argument and decision was won through a single religions argument or belief?

At least that is how I see it.

some of the strongest people on earth were religious.
I believe in God and i'm definitly not weak, so fuck you.

oh please, as if some "god" was there giving you a helping hand or an extra push so you can achieve your goals.So you believe that achievement is not a result of hard work?
Nobody is born with dancing skills, running skills or nunchuks skills, you have to work hard to get better and practice a lot to get somewhere, saying god gave you skills is just plain dumb.
You believe in god and you are religious because you are ignorant and afraid.

if a person believes in god and believes that god gave them legs, hands, feet and a voice then he has given the person a gift that they honed into a useable skill. This is why god gets on the thank you list:slap:
is it really so hard to understand?

However if there is no specific religion identified that is used to create or pass a law and it is just considered "religion" in general I do not have an issue with it as no specific religion is being used. If this happens to go against a smaller, minority religion than that happens to be the case. But this country is run by politicians elected by the majority and minority groups are constantly left on the side. There will always be opposition to any law but that does not mean that we cannot pass it because we do not have 100% approval.

where the fuck did you get that i believe that achievement is not a result of hard work. nothing worth getting in life is easy. there are people with great voices and yet they dont receive much recognition. making it big is as much 'luck' (this could be where God comes in) as it is talent.
there is no way in hell that i'd make an album that goes platinum no matter how hard i try. some people do have gifts. that doesnt mean that they dont need hard work to develop these gifts, but I sure as hell dont have NFL quality genes.
