Do we need to declare Christianity the National Religion?
Of course, this is aimed primarily at the U.S. citizens here. If you look at the modern democracies with national religions, church attendance is very low. Far lower than in the United States. Is a national religion the best tool atheists would have to promoting religious apathy or even disbelief?

hell to the no. People don't start hating state religions until AFTER state religions have fucked shit up. (see French Revolution, etc). I would prefer the fucked-upness of our shit to remain at a moderate level, or preferably decrease, thank you very much.

Imo, there is little hope for Americans, at least in my lifetime - we have so much Christian propoganda and so many Christian politicians out there making laws and implementing policies that it will be a long time before there is a majority of apathy or disbelief.
