protest against theocracy: ideas
here's an idea to protest against the coming theocracy.

on every paper piece of money in the US are the words 'in god we trust'

get a black marker and cross off the word "god"

I saw this in one of the photos from http://www.sorryeverybody.com


Any other ideas?

3. it's not "giving up on God"
it's enforcing the constitutional separation of church and state

2. I think what a lot of more moderate Christians need to be shown is that ..
the theocracy that the current administration would give us isn't necessarily the way they would want it. There are a ton of different Christian denominations because there are a ton of different ways of approaching being a Christian and within those denominations, even more. So, the form that the theocracy would take wouldn't necessarily jive with a certain Christian's idea of what should and should not be done.

Those divisions need to be shown. Christianity is the majority religion in this country, but it's not the same experience for everyone, so why would anyone want the government to tell them how to practice?
