RELIGION IS FAKE, IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN THE SUPERMAN OR THE TOOTH FAIRY YOU SHOULDN’T BELIEVE IN SOME FUCKING MADE UP MAN FROM A FICTIONAL BOOK PRODUCED THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO. PEOPLE IN POWER USE RELIGION TO CONTROL YOU THROUGH FEAR, NOT BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN RELIGION THEMSELVES. FUCK. > > now they should of picked a better song then justin bieber, but they made the right decision by not having god being part of any graduation, as it is standing precedent that that is unconstitutional. the actual issue aside, not believing in god and preaching your belief or lack there of towards other people is just as bad as “believers” forcing their bullshit down your throat. That aside, I agree with you that it should no longer have its place in a pledge or on our money given this country is made up of so many diverse cultures, you can say what you want about what this country was founded on, who “real” american are etc, but it doesnt matter, the flood gates were opened and theres no turning back this country is made up of so many different people and backgrounds --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nyc-school-wont-allow-god-bless-the-usa-song-at-graduation/264063)._
