We are certainly heading for complete collapse as we move further away from the principles of liberalism towards authoritarian rule.

My thoughts upon hearing such platitudinal speech is: I wonder if the people sitting behind bars still to this day due to the effects of the crime bill that sent them there which Biden helped to facilitate will ever get to hear these words and what they would think of them?

No one said atheists aren't equal. The point of freedom of religion is that people can freely worship any God or no God. "Whether a man believes in no God or 20 gods neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." (Thomas Jefferson)

I mean yeah those are nice words, but Biden has already caved on $15 minimum wage and cancelling student debt. Not holding my breath.

How can women & minorities be equal to the image of god if monotheism believes, no wait, knows god is a white man

Monotheism doesn't claim that God is a white man.
