I am not 100% certain who made the following comment but the comment sounded something like 'even an athiest should be greatful the words "In God we trust' is on Amercian money'

As a personal mission statment, I have declared that I am going to dedicate myself in helping to train a moral army https://steemit.com/steemit/@captaintj/what-do-you-get-out-of-being-on-steemit

I am a follower of CHRIST and I want other people to be followers of CHRIST, however many people think that if they do not want to follow CHRIST then they must default to being an athiest...that is simply untrue. There is a large catagory of people that do not want to follow CHRIST yet they still maintain a moral compass. These people are called deists
noun: deism
belief in the existence of a supreme being, specifically of a creator who does not intervene in the universe. The term is used chiefly of an intellectual movement of the 17th and 18th centuries that accepted the existence of a creator on the basis of reason but rejected belief in a supernatural deity who interacts with humankind.
Origin
late 17th century: from Latin deus ‘god’ + -ism.

Basicly a deist says that there is a god or things called gods, but that persons life is unefected by them. As you can imagine I do not want to encourage people to turn away from GOD, I just realize the connection between moral values and a strong healthy society.
Amercian actor and funny man Steve Harvey commented on what I am trying to point out
1 single atheist might say that they have moral convictions, but the odds of another atiest having the same moral convictions is near 0%. So how can a strong society be built whenever people cannot agree upon which direction to pull the rope?

From what I understand formerly the British goverment was religious, and instead of being devoted to God they used religion like it was a club (to oppress Amercia with) That goverment said that there is a God (who has all of the power) next in line is the king (and the king recieves power from God) next in line are the people (who recieve no power from God, the people only recieve power from the king) In effect the king was saying 'if I want to deny a group of people a certain right, then I have done no wrong because the power is mine to give' And Amercias founding fathers said 'nope' (thats the war for independence, or the revolutionary war and we celibrate the victory on July 4th)
Basicly socialism and communism say the same thing (except socialism and communism say that 'ther is no god' but the state (goverment) is the closest thing to 'god'

The whole thing goes back to the fact that (almost) everyone wants to be charitable (although we understand that the true heart of mankind is selfishness, and selfishness is anti christianity) So people want to fool themselves into thinking that they are a bashtion of good, but at the same time thoes people do not want to listen to GOD (who is LOVE) they do not want to be told 'how to Love' (and Loving people is no easy task!)
So what is a system that shows 'love' to people, but that system also removes the bothersome religious aspects ...wait I know what system is like that its called called socialism/communism.
