Needless to say, this is all Christian persecution complex bullshit. The case they love to point to, Engel v Vitale, banned mandatory school prayer; not all prayer or the Bible. As long as they're not disruptive, these things are as welcome in school as they ever were. Without a single shred of irony, the same Christians who speak of an all-knowing and ever-present god are the same ones who say that god was "kicked out" of public schools.

Because if for some reason it was, that might also be a direct indictment of some kind of group failure to adopt the original basis of that message in Matthew 25, where all followers are instructed to quote:Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me. I think the only way out of this one in one piece might be to collectively come together in some manner to feed the hungry, naturalize the stranger, clothe the homeless, and do something about healthcare and mass incarceration, it sounds serious.

I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."

I worked food service before joining the military, and briefly worked as a Waffle House grill operator after retiring from the military. In both cases, I busted my rear end way more than I ever did in the actual military outside of BMT for way less money. Even at a living wage, it'd still be an exhausting job. It's demanding as hell and absolutely destroys people physically.

Yeah doing food service is one of the most demanding and demoralizing jobs out there. The hell of it is at least in demanding jobs like working on an oil field you get to build and maintain rigs and such. In food service it's just sending perishables out the door to a miserable audience that hates you.

The type of people who say that aren't about Christianity as a religion so much as a political identity, which they can use as a bludgeon against LGBTQ, "liberals", etc. Calling Christianity a relationship as opposed to a religion isn't purely a political thing - I heard it a lot from youth pastors and "actually Jesus was the first punk rocker" types growing up in a fairly liberal church. It's a fairly simple way to pretend that Christianity is super-special and totally unique compared to all other religions. Not exactly the strongest argument out there, but you can tell why that framing can be appealing to a worshipper. Of course, as soon as it's taken out of a purely-religious context, it becomes a fun little (thankfully mostly-pretend) loophole against the Establishment Clause.

The reasoning behind "Christianity isn't a religion" thing is "Every religion requires you to earn your way into a better place in the afterlife, or be good enough to get into paradise. Christianity on the other hand says nobody can earn their way into a better place or ever be good enough, but it's okay because Jesus already paid the price to enter into Heaven." I'm not really well versed in other religious beliefs so I don't know how true that is, the part about "you can never be good enough/earn your way, it's a free gift given to you." At any rate that doesn't even touch the fact that you still are required to follow particular rules in Christianity or you're not "really saved," like try being an openly gay or trans Christian to someone who says it's not a religion just a relationship, as well as stuff like the already mentioned Matthew 25, Romans where Paul says that you can't go on sinning just because you're saved by grace, or even the book of James where it straight up says "faith without works is useless," you still have to be "good enough" and "earn" your way in, you can't just say "Well I believe in Jesus" and keep living a sinful life. Even by their own standards Christianity still qualifies as a religion.

Plus the people who say "it's not a religion!" still engage in a lot of the rituals associated with Christianity. It may not be formal High Church ceremonies, but they'll still pray and celebrate holidays and stuff.

Instead of, you know, just flying in from Europe where they'd face much less scrutiny.

Hey, just wanted to drop in and say that Christianity is not the only religion where this is the case. In Pure Land Buddhism the major theological belief is that Amida (or Amitābha) Buddha saw that the earth was so corrupt that he decided he needed to create a spiritual realm that people could ascend to where it would be easier to achieve enlightenment known as the Pure Land. The Japanese sect of Pure Land Buddhism is unique in that it sees the world as so corrupt that any effort towards enlightenment here is effectively wasted, and one must instead rely on their faith in Amida, and Amida's grace to bring them into the Pure Land.

Christianity on the other hand says nobody can earn their way into a better place or ever be good enough, but it's okay because Jesus already paid the price to enter into Heaven." You pretty much have it correct. According to Christian thought, Jesus paid it all, but the way you show that you're "saved" is by good works. The good works aren't enough to get you into heaven, but they're supposed to be an outward sign of your faith. The problem comes from some Christians today who think that since they're already forgiven, they can do whatever because hey - Jesus will be returning soon to Rapture the church and I'll be given my reward while the heathens here on Earth suffer!
