Pat Robertson: Stop the church-state separation ‘nonsense’ before atheists take over everything

Televangelist Pat Robertson on Thursday warned that militant Islamists, militant atheists and other secularists had taken the separation of church and state “nonsense” too far in an effort to “destroy the fabric” of society.

British Prime Minister David Cameron came under fire after writing in an op-ed last week that his people should be “more confident about our status as a Christian country.”

British Attorney General Dominic Grieve explained the controversy by saying that people did not want to be identified as a Christian nation because they were “turned off” by the rise of fundamentalism.

He added that atheists were “deluding themselves” if they thought “1500 years of Christian input into our national life” was going to change overnight.

On Thursday, Robertson praised Grieve’s rejection of atheism and wished “we could have some more of that here in the United States.”

“This nonsense about the separation of church and state has gotten way, way beyond the bounds of what the Founders of our Constitution thought,” Robertson opined. “We’re under assault by militant Islamists, militant atheists, secularists, those who want to destroy all the fabric of faith in our society. And the great freedoms we have found on our belief in God.”

The TV preacher later blamed the “elites” for mistakenly thinking that “we just cannot be intolerant of Islamic people, their faith is as good as anybody else’s faith. And they’re entitled to express their views. They’re entitled to have their call to worship out of their mosque. They’re entitled to do this and do that and do the other.”

Robertson warned that the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal was “world domination,” and that they had already infiltrated “the highest counsels of the security apparatus of the United States of America advising our leaders as to how to deal with terrorism.”

“Nonsense!” he exclaimed.

1. FU Pat

We are NOT a christian nation. I hope one day religion will be something that only a few people speak of so they won't get put in an insane asylum.

[Coventina]

2. Somehow I don't think "militant Islamists" want separation of church and state.

I think Pat is getting senile.....

[spanone]

3. why does this old fool still have a microphone in front of him?

[jwirr]

9. Because much of the MSM is behind the times and still proping up a lot of rw has-beens.

4. Bwa ha ha! We're coming for you, Pat!

[merrily]

5. Huge false equivalency.

Cameron is a subject in a nation where the monarch is also the head of the church. It is also one of the nations from which people fled if they held a minority religious belief.

Some of those who fled those nations came to this continent. Their descendants tried their best to make sure that the experiences they had in places like England and France would not be repeated in this country. Hence, both an establishment and a free exercise clause in the Constitution. UK has no equivalent.

If Robertson loves the free exercise clause but hates the establishment clause, perhaps Robertson should take up residence in the UK. I hear they are fine with free exercise these days, even though Elizabeth II, R, is still the official head of the Anglican Church, founded by the father of Elizabeth I, R.

6. I'm definitely for him leaving the country. nt

7. That's really confusing

So we can be tolerant of those militant Islamists who want world domination and allow them to worship in their mosques - wait . . . do we hate Muslims or Tolerate them?

Roberts might benefit from a second draft. Or alternatively, having his mouth taped shut.

8. Sorry patty but many of our churches do not agree with your johnny come lately idea of where the

church belongs in this argument. We do not want to be part of your theocracy.

[Frank Cannon]

10. "1500 years of Christian input in our national life."

What nation does Pat live in? I seem to recall celebrating the USA's bicentennial during my lifetime.
