The enemies of the USA helped make that possible. They fabricated "Separation of Church and State" to take any semblance of God out of government, and used emotional "greater good" arguments to persuade people to give up their freedoms. Fortunately a lot of Americans didn't fall for it, but enough have to cause real damage.
Idk as an atheist I like the separation of church and state. Do what you want behind closed doors but keep your magic and doctrines out of my shit. We couldn't even buy boose in my state on Sundays till a couple years ago shit like that is just fucking stupid. Religious zealotry of any kind is annoying asf to the non religious.
Zealotry of any kind is annoying at best, and dangerous at worst. See: leftist zealotry. Same can be said for religious zealotry.
I was a hardcore atheist back in my 20s as well. Separation, getting rid of all forms of religion and religious symbolism on government property and currency, that sort of thing. Well now I know how wrong I was as I see the effects of the population losing religion and faith on a large scale and it frightens me more than the fear of some theocracy ever did.
The prospect of losing it isn't the scary part to me it's the fact that people need to fill the void left by it and they choose even more insane ideologies atleast christianity has evolved to be palatable in the modern world but I still dislike all forms of it. The biggest hypocrites I've ever met besides libtards have been christians. Like I said I don't care what you do at home but government making policies based on a magic book is not the way forward to me. The only defining feature that matters to me is that you're american
Honestly, the state should be able to be as religious, capitalistic, socialistic as it pleases. We have a constitutional right to free movement specifically to let us move to states that we more align with.

Filling the void with government (as is the plan) is what's scary, yes.
What does that mean in practice?

So the constitution isn't federal?I'm all for states rights but federal Trump's states
