Introductory
This report discusses the current issue America faces within its own government concerning the amount of influence religion holds in the decision making proses. Specifically the amount of opportunity that churches are given in regards to being tax exempt and holding priority in the minds of public representatives when faced with a moral dilemma that conflicts with personal beliefs. The way that congressman operate is completely unacceptable because of the fact that they are required to be impartial to the proses and not involve there personal morals in regards to religion.
This issue is important because religion is no longer the soul majority of what the population choses to accept into their own mindset with the growing disapproval of religion conflicting with government decision people become impatient as to when and how a solution will arise within the system that so blindly makes choices based on their religion instead of their obligation to do what’s best for the American people. This issue relates to all Americans alike regardless of your own belief it’s just wrong to place any religion in priority of others due to “popularity” per say. One day maybe your religion will be a minor part of entirety of personal beliefs as a whole, it within itself is un-American to say that a religion of any sort have ruling influence in the system.
What we need to do as Americans is vote for impartial public representatives who look not for what’s in the best interest of their own beliefs but the best interests of the people that they speak for, what has cause this issue is what we have allowed to happen to our government, we let it get to this point and it is up to use to handle it and bring up a new era of prosperity, fair judgment and impartial unbiased decision making.
