Missouri Declares Christianity Official Religion
KMOV, the CBS affiliate in Missouri, reports that the Legislature is considering declaring Christianity the official “majority” religion.
The resolution would recognize “a Christian god,” and it would not protect minority religions, but “protect the majority’s right to express their religious beliefs.
The resolution also recognizes that, “a greater power exists,” and only Christianity receives what the resolution calls, “justified recognition.”
I cannot believe this. How do these people get elected?
I don’t think you should be allowed to take a public office until you read the United States Constitution at least once. Ammendment 1 is pretty clear on the topic of official state religions. (Lest you think that this prohibition applies only to the US Congress, recall that the Supreme Court decided in Gitlow v. New York that the Bill of rights also applied to the individual states.)
Leaving aside the blatant illegality of the bill, consider it from a religious perspective: When did Christ ever say that Christians should use the government to suppress opposing religions?
This is utter nonsense.

Doe Utah have one? What about Israel?

I don’t believe that Utah has an official state religion. According to the comments on this Free Republic post, they do not.
Israel is its own democratic state, not a part of the U.S., and as such is not bound by the Constitution. But according to Wikipedia, they do not have an official state religion either.
