Seven states that ban atheists from holding public office.

What the actual fuck. Since when does your personal, religious beliefs matter in a country that supposedly has separation of church and state? 

look at this shit

All of these states can feel free to secede from my country at any time, kthx.

GTFO of the country founded to escape religious persecution you cockmunching assholes.

Hahahaha, I saw hate about states and I’m so totally not surprised to see my state up there. For fucks sake, Mississippi, you have to get on everyone’s bad side, don’t you?

And separation of church and state in Mississippi? HA, HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!! FUCK! 

god dammit Texas.

This is why I’m too scared to ever leave California. Our economy might suck balls, but I’ll take that over this kinda bullshit. 

pennsylvania being stellar as always

If you would have actually read all of these articles and provisions of their constitutions you would come to the general conclusion that you would have to take an oath under a “supreme being” not necessarily meaning the requirement to believe in god to take office. It’s just like when you take oath in court that you have to take that oath on the holy book of your choosing, some states even make that a provision as well.  Read.  Educate yourself. Dont believe everything that you see online, kids.  

You don’t have to swear on the bible or to god in court.

Follow your own suggestions, friend.

Often the most conservative states are the least family-friendly. The National Partnership for Women and Families made this map report card to show which states have the worst policies for families and new parents. So much for “traditional family values”!
