have heard that when you do not look at history it will repeat itself. A secular society has been proven SEVERAL times to work better than those based on ANY religious text.
The last thing the United States needs is a Christian theocracy of various Christians fighting amongst themselves struggling to have their version of Christianity endorsed and enforced. It would be Catholic against Protestant and Protestant against Protestant. Many Christians can't even agree on which bible version is the most accurate version or whether Christians are eternally secure or if Christians can lose their salvation. Countless Protestant churches have splintered and split because the Christians within those congregations couldn't get along and fully agree on doctrine. I think it would be total mayhem.
Given my past experiences with a certain sect of Christians, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the first constitutional right to be scrapped in a new Christian theocracy would be the First Amendment and the freedom of religion. I would say that women's rights would possibly be next. And that's not to mention how terrible it would become for LGBT people and non-Christians (Muslims and atheists in particular). LGBT American citizens already have to fight for civil rights and equality because right wing Christians want to discriminate against them based on biblical beliefs. I think it would be sad to lose all the legal ground that has been gained in the fight for LGBT civil rights and equality.
