The President that will nominate a new justice and makes an argument that the idea of a god and superstition must be protected.

I see it all the time, how judges and public officials think they can force members, citizens and officials into compelled speech by forcing prayers and tryinf to force people to adhere to religious precepts and how the line that SHOULD separate church and states is always at risk (and in a lot of cases already overlooked) by those in government that don't understand this is NOT a theocracy where you can force people to entertain your magical sky daddy. And new nominations will follow that perspective, the perspective that people should be forced to believe in the idea of a god.

Law is as good as the people who interpret and enforce it.

Out of curiosity, what are you talking about?  If anything, the United States governments have been unusually hostile to religion this past decade.  Society in general has also ebbed from the religious revitalization that started in the 1960s and 70s.

The United States is in no danger of becoming theocratic at the moment.  Unless one considers the destruction of religion to be a form of theocracy.

So you don't know of instances where the US government completely disrespects the separation of church and state and just looks away from violations?

Well, let me take you out of your bubble then:

If you think that disrespect shown above towards non-believers, Atheists, people of other faiths is not enough then show me your examples of public officials disrespecting Christians to counter the number of cases I listed above but be warned because I have even more cases, I just got tired of listing them.

....have a Radical Left nonbeliever, who wants to take your religion & your guns, than Donald Trump as your President. No President has done more for the Evangelical community, and it’s not even close. You’ll not get anything from those Dems on stage. I won’t be reading ET again!

The hostility and abuse of power against non-believers and atheists doesn't look like a big deal when you don't give a fuck about it.
