  • As soon as somebody says America was founded as a Christian nation, I kind of stop listening.

  • The women is a professor! The US is going downhill when not only a large part of the population believes in this Jesus shit but even the high ranking "intellectuals" thinks there are no moralic principals outside their favorite book of myths.

  • 5:40 - If it wasn't for the secular humanists, everyone that looks like her would still be picking cotton.

    5:52 - No, they are not. Atheists and Muslims are under far more siege. I know the interviewer at this point is thinking "look you black bitch, just shut the fuck up and let me speak."

    6:12 - 6:50 Typical Christian idiot-dom (dumb?)

    8:03 - Did you guys catch it? She had to throw one last piece of "theology" in there.

  • Only a REAL FOOL would claim there is no God! Man creates awesome skyscrapers, fake hearts, tunnels, vehicles etc.. If we are very imperfect then what more can God create THE UNIVERSE! You must accept Jesus Christ as your Savior to receive eternal rest in heaven! Simple! John 3:16 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him! Repent & accept Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ or HELL?!? Visit wlixradio. com

  • @tigersforchrist Only a real fool could believe in God. I can't see how anyone going into this with a completely impartial mind can come to the conclusion that God exists

  • @tigersforchrist So beliving in a book writen thousends of years ago is not foolish? Plus even if there is a god how can you narrow it to Christianiy why not Islam or Hinduisim?

  • @tigersforchrist

    What actual proof is there of god? Don't say you FEEL him, or that something just HAD to have created us.

    Present actual logical evidence that can be experienced with the five senses.

  • Why on earth did they get this woman to represent them? It's like they understand how wrong they are and have just given up XD

  • That woman is a complete retard!

  • ha ha, beating the hell out of christianity with Denmark! GO FOR IT! (the danish people approve)

  • Well that just does it, there must be a God! For this woman to be able to write a book . . . now that's a fucking miracle.

  • She says the country has been in decline since the athiest took god out of the school, I want to ask her about the years when her ancestors were enslaved which was totally justified by the bible, man those must have been the wonder years.

  • prayer doesnt work why is she lying!!!!

  • fuckin hell america is in the shit an imaginary saviour!!

  • Most of Europe is in mess lol That woman has no clue what she is talking about in any way shape or form. Do not listen to such ignoramuses.

  • When people say that atheists have hurt the nation? I just stand agog in disbelief at such statements.

  • shouldn't she be on a pancake box or something

  • It's just so depressing that humans... and supposedly accredited humans like "Dr." Swain here... still hold onto this Bronze Age view that there's a celestial being pulling our strings from above. Pathetic.

  • Surprised he isn't at least an agnostic.

  • every one sould be called to a polling station then asked if there religious and if the answer is yes they sould be took out the back an shot in the fking head for being so stupid.

  • Prayer has been proven 100% ineffective in earthly matters.

  • That black bitch doesn't have the brains to even be a crack whore. How the fuck did she get to publish a book?!

  • This guy maybe one of the only decent Christians out there....

  • @SasuSakuGleeFan123 100 thumbs up for you.

  • "Christianity is the only religion under attack..."...?

  • yes praying... that will sort out the economy.

  • @liamjd1 Imagine that, a president candidate is literally saying that he is gonna sit on his ass doing nothing, and he's encouraging people to sit on their ass doing nothing and watch the world turn to shit because oooh they got prayer, the belief that you're helping out by doing jack shit.

  • Advocating for an outright majority ruled government is convenient for her religious argument in this video, but I would think an older African-American would remember some history and be wary of that system. As a Young Black Atheist in Texas, I damn sure don't want it to come back.

  • I guess anyone can receive a phd these days

  • The first 15 seconds when he talks makes me want to commit religious genocide. Holy shit. His head has GOT to be full of fuck.

  • Everyone! Richard Dawkins has asked all Atheists to take a picture of you, and your off-spring and his/hers to see how he/she evolves to disproves Creationism and show solid evidence even though we have so much, its overwhelming.

  • Slavery, genocide, misogyny. Are those Judeo-Christian principles? 

  • It's nice to see religion slowly but surely melting away

  • A black woman trying to promote segregation.

  • @MyFishIsTwonk Yep... fail

  • I really hate to say this because at first glance, it sounds ridiculousness and a bit rude... but doesn't anyone else find it ironic that we have African Americans Christians who seem to completely forget or willfully ignore the relatively recent problems of segregation which is a direct extension of slavery endorsed by the bible? This "doctor" is fighting for a religion that threw her overboard 6 thousand years ago. Ironic.

  • "Thank God my ancestors have fought against the tyranny of the majority and enforced equality of races so that I can appear on TV, smiling and advocating the tyrany of the majority."

    I just can't find words...

    ~Sylv

  • lolol

  • My god. This woman is soooo fuking stupid.

  • The majority of America is white. I guess that means all the white people get their way and all black people can either be happy about it or shut the hell up. I wonder what Swain would think of that. Put that in your straw and suck it, doc.

  • lol @ "America was founded as a Judeo-Christian nation". XD

  • @bluesyrastapunkraver + the cross is a pagan symbol. :p

  • every country where religion is the main force in running the country are backward 3rd world shitholes where torture murder and Oppression are common place. this woman is a fucking idiot.

  • Thank Christ ' forgive the pun ' i am not an American and have to live next to this ignorant creature ......

  • Tom Hartmann, good man

  • She's a fucking moron. There's no point making any kind of intelligent response to someone as patently retarded as her. She can suck both of my balls.

  • this bitch is retarded,she says''i know that prayer works''.this is coming from someone with a PHD,I would love for her to show some proof to back up her claims(f.y.i the placebo effect does not count as proof)

  • Comment removed

  • Hilarious at first, but it's really just sad. Think about everything christianity is doing and does for people. If we can start becoming reasonable then we can throw away the useless diversion of religion. It just kills too many.

  • Denmark? I think you mean Sweden.

  • @swedishguy83 n he meant denmark read the surveys

  • @Amstrup77 Out of the Scandinavian countries Sweden is the least religious country. Life expectancy is higher in Sweden than in Denmark. Our current economic situation is better than yours aswell. So what was your point?

  • @swedishguy83 Dammit, dudes, you're both doing way better than religious countries. Although a race to see which one gets to 100% atheist population first would be amazing...

    Besides, I'd personally move in Denmark or Sweden, it doesn't matter, It's better than Romania, where 95% of the population is religious.

    Now stop fighting over statistics :p

  • @TheKainMan You're welcome to move here! The weather is pretty shitty but the few weeks of summer where you can see barely clothed girls walking around make up for it :)

  • What a load of bullshit that woman spews.

  • Omg this woman is FUCKING retarded and ignorant..

  • this woman is dead stupid

  • First I was angry but then I just started laughing.

  • @SinuousStudios I'm with you there. I'm just staring at my screen in disbelief. Oh boy.

  • Atheists are NOT under siege? Other religions in America are NOT under siege? The chrisitans are the only ones?! Fuck, this woman is a MORON! How is the most commonly practiced religion in America under the most attack? Atheists and people who practice other minority faiths get the most hate and discrimination - no question. Pick up a newspaper lady and learn what's going on in your country. Ignorant bible basher.

  • So rick perry is a proud christian, hey? Well by using his religion to manipulate ignorant voters into thinking he is some sort of virtuous saint - he is doing the most unchristianly thing possible. Give the man 1 year in presidency and he'll screw over america's economy (even though some may argue thats virtually impossible), make america an even bigger political joke and strip the country of any dignity it had left.

  • She needs a bitch slap. What would she be doing if we all have to pray in our schools to Muslim god. Shut the f up about Christian they killed many innocent people that didn't wanna believe in The Dude Jesus.

  • She has hypocrite written all over her stupid Christian face

  • This woman wrote a book?! How did she manage that?!

  • @indianbiker777 My wrong what?

  • 3rd world bitch

  • if every christian had the logic that this man has, we would be a great nation

  • I am atheist and proud of it for sure and American also proud.

  • Religious fundamentalists are just fascists, plain and simple.

  • Funny how during this whole interview...marque scrolls on the botton are talking about people getting blown up and dying.......Hmm religion is really helping them

  • Blame it on the A A A A A Atheists! This lady is fucking retarded.

  • If you don't like living in a Judeo-Christian nation, there's the border. Hit it, and don't even think of looking back.

  • The guy in the video calls himself a Christian, but he's deceived. He thinks and talks like an atheist.

  • Comment removed

  • The state is the government, and the government cannot force any belief system. The government is in control of the school. If this bitch and all of the other Christians make mandatory bible readings in school, I will skip every day and there is nothing they can do about it.

  • the state is the government, and the government cannot force any belief system. The government is in control of the

  • YOUTUBE IS INFESTED WITH ATHEISTS!

  • @mrtadreamer the whole world should be for it's own safety.

  • @mrtadreamer no, youtube is infested with religious fanatics like you. Step away from your bible long enough to stop being a narrow minded fucktard and get some sense knocked into you. Equality is a chrsitan principle, just so you know. That means treating athiests, hindus, muslims and people of all faiths or non-faiths with respect. If you act otherwise and try to enforce your I'm christian and superior bullshit on the rest of us - then you are the least chrisitan person on this goddamn site.

  • @UnlikelyHero11 Your filthy ungodly invective speaks for itself.

  • @mrtadreamer Sure sure, see you in hell bud.

  • I like him, as an atheist I normally find that Christians in the media such as that woman are ignorant and down right stupid. But this man is on the ball he says what he see's.

  • Why does this women keep saying that America was founded as a Judeo-Christian nation? Nothing even remotely close to that happened! Why do religious people think its ok to lie and misrepresent history to their benefit? Its not very "christian" of her now is it?

  • The guy is a thinker, a rational one. He just never sat down and thought about how stupid religion really is. If he did, he would probably be an atheist himself.

  • btw this is one of the most informed christian men that i have ever witnessed this guy does actually think within reason

  • ya your right, because atheists dont represent a group of people who have a written out moral and ethical code like the ten commandments, that means theyre probably polluting america and making americans less ethical. what a fuckin moron

  • HAHAHAHA Based on christian beliefs. If that were true, how come this witch hasn't been burned yet?

  • What the hell kind of doctorate does that ignorant woman have again?

  • This lady is a very sad person :D.

  • "yeah!! we need to waste our time praying!!! yeah!!! let's sit and pray until all our problems are solved by MAGIC! yeeeah!!! obviously there is NO proof that you MUS'T solve the problems because praying WILL CLEARLY DO!"

  • America is fucked. Stop believing in fairy tales.

  • and wow..this woman is really close minded and kind of stupid =/ she has said things that are dead wrong. Every word she says just makes me laugh at how moronic she is. Prayer does NOT work. It does not. However, it can make some people feel better and give hope.

  • OH yes it's great to pray, unless you feel pressured or uncomfortable because you yourself don't want to pray. Being picked on by kids for not doing it, or just feeling awkward. It is NOT good. You can pray on your own, or with a group. But Religion needs to be kept OUT of politics. Plus Perry, you are an idiot. I hope you know i have never once voted for you as governor and never will. And the country is DOOMED if you are elected as president. Luckily he's his own worst enemy.

  • fuck christianity, you delusional pieces of shit, COMBINING CHURCH AND STATE DOES NOT WORK.

  • @ChemiculsHD FUCK U U DUMB CUNT, you are probably a fuckin paky islamic bastard who fuck 3year old girls in the name of a non-exsistant god called dickaallah, FUCK ISLAM

  • @thebestmusicTV 'Probably' isn't certainly. But you're certainly a prick coming out with shit like that. My guess is that ChemiculsHD isn't religious. Your spelling is atrocious as well. Paying too much attention to bible class, or creation bullshit are you?

  • Omg, they remove the crosses from the highways. I agree, Christians are so being oppressed.

    Next time a Christian get's tortured in Guantanamo for being involved in 'terrorist conspiracies', we'll talk about oppression.

  • prayer works? really? how? how does prayer work? God has a divine plan....right? god created a divine plan and set it in motion... so.... what does praying do? if its not in gods plan..... and you pray for something thats not in his plan..... how does prayer work? .... i love willful ignorance.... amazing....

  • I'm moving to denmark

  • For a Christian, this Thom Hartmann fellow is very rational and level-headed, a very pleasant surprise

  • economic crisis? no problem! just pray! religion is fucking retarded

  • oh goodness whats happened to this country.....

  • i believe that a christian should base reasonings on their belifs and those professed christians that are corrupt or things like that arent the real Christians. the real ones are the ones who help the needy try to get them on their feet. christianity has moral values which people forget about

  • i agree. this nation has strayed away. we change so many wrong things for a minority group who feel their rights are being taking away

  • @baribeast93 We have a constitution to protect minorities. If the majority always got what it wanted that would be a horrible things. Government should stay out of religion, it's really not hard, yet it prevents anyone from feeling bad, and doesn't prevent Christians, Muslims, jews, or whoever from praying or doing whatever they want to do. I don't care if people think that some big man in the guy stands behind them, many of us disagree and don't want government to be run according to fantasy.

  • people read history, and read your bible... i mean honestly.. I AM NOT A CHRISTIAN OR CATHOLIC OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT!! Though i am sure that i have read your holy book more then anyone! and as for " Christianity is under attack.. yeah.. think about this WICCA AND PEOPLE WHO WERE CALLED WITCHES HAVE BEEN KILLED FOR GENERATIONS, JEWS ARE KILLED FOR JUST BEING JEWISH AND GOT DANMIT ITS BULL SHIT THAT YOU PEOPLE THINK CHRISTIANS ARE UNDER ATTACK JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE STANDING UP FOR THEMSELVES!!!

  • TRUE SPIRTUALITY asks the faithful to live lives of love, and respect... Organized religion is often a perversion of the trueness of spirituality. ATHEISM (denial of God) is the greatest despair of humanity... but many religions fail to affirm God and act only as institutions.... True Mystic spirituality does the exact opposite of the obvious harms of some organized religions... You who see religion as evil, how do you feel about spirituality, or deep religion.

  • @vikingsls Love is the spiritualization of sensuality.....

  • This bitch needs to shut the hell up. These "atheists" who caused issues in 1962, freed your ass from slavery. America was also set as a slave nation, built on prisoners from Europe, poor farmers, Puritans, and inequality. So with her logic, we should revert to this because this was how the nation was built. So basically we are not allowed to develop as a nation at all. That's cool.

  • All people should be free to worship whichever religion they choose but they should NOT be free to force it down other people's throats. That's ridiculous.

  • Sorry, meant to say, if 78% of the country is Christian........:)

  • America was also founded as a slave holding nation, jackass! If 78% of the country are American and the country is going down the tube, maybe it is their fault????????

  • Comment removed

  • 'Christians are the only ones in America that are under siege'....wow...just wow....and she's a law professor....no comment...

  • Christian intolerance is such an ugly thing and it does nothing to propagate your faith. I felt Hartmann demonstrated extreme patience and decorum with his guest. Being a good American means defending each other's civil rights regardless of your own religious or personal ideologies. When you put anyone's religious views into the way our government does business you are bound to curtail another American's religious or personal freedoms which is about as un-American as you can get.

  • I can't believe that Hartmann would call himself a Christian and say the things he said... You may call yourself a Christian but only Jesus knows your heart and only God will judge you. claiming to be a christian wont do any good if you don't follow the faith

  • correction, he's a confused spiteful asshole. the more i watch it the more i have pitty on him rather than agitated by his attitude. still this is a Christian nation government and state or otherwise.

  • that news reporter (Thom) is a spiteful asshole. you sound like an atheist the way you speak. i agree with everything Carol Swain says.

  • She does realize her ancestors had Christianity shoved down their throats against their will.

  • I'm a Christian, I don't believe anything she said. Government should stay out of religion and let it be.

  • Blaming Atheists for Americas economical woes...where have I heard that before...OH YEA Hitler Blaming the Jews for Germany's economic problems....

  • @flip117100 jews did screw up Germany... -.-

  • @WatchTheTrailers Go outside you autistic attention seeker.

  • @aDislikeBot 0.o? But it's a fact...

  • @flip117100 Enter Godwin's law.

  • @ffxme Funny thing about that, if you go to Wikipedia, and start clicking random links you can worm your way to Nazism, Fascism, Hitler, etc.

    For example, I started off with Team Fortress 2, clicked some links and ended at Command Economy which led me to Economics of fascism.

  • 4:35 - owned.

  • This guy is a fucking chode sniffing faggot. You honestly want to vote for someone that is going to pray us to prosperity? America is going to rot in hell thanks to anyone stupid enough to vote for him.

  • Fuck you Rick Perry.... Religions are hoax...

  • @That1202Anarchist And that's also very offensive.. I apologize for the second part of my comment.. But that pisses me off when people say shit like that....

  • This guy clearly knows what he's talking about guys.

  • The sad thing is that, at least in America, atheists are too strongly bias against religion today, more so than most Christians or Muslims against them, people of the two religions that are most associated with radicalism.

    We need mutual respect here, and that's the true, unreachable solution.

  • This woman is so ignorant.

  • SHE has a book?!

  • lady, why do you think atheists drive the universities....?

  • Glad I'm an atheist when I see someone as ignorant as this woman is try to stand up and insist that her points are valid with absolutely no provable facts given.

  • There is an incredibly strong negative correlation between the religiosity of a population and that populations societal health indicators. You can make all the claims you want but the facts are painfully clear. The more religious a population the lower its standards of education, health and the greater its crime rates. The US has 25% of the world’s prison population, yet only 5% of the actual population. In the world’s largest economy this is unbelievable.

  • argue public policies with religious reasoning and scriptures......... ummm no

  • They complain about giving preference to a particular idea or religion about others however, the GOVERNMENT supports the false claims of evolution in public schools... Why is it ok to force feed our kids a LIE about evolution and have tax payers pay for it yet claim they do not want to give special treatment to a certain religion or idea above others? They pick and choose and it seems that religion is ALWAYS at a loss except when the religion is anti-religion. i.e... the religion of atheism.

  • hahahahahah Seriously... WE ARE THE PROBLEM OF THE WORLD?

    Look at how many war your religion has made up!

    Look at how much prejudice your fucking religion creates against those that doesn't believe the same as you do...

    Religion is simply something that pulls the world back in time.

    C'mon... we're too smart to believe in fairy tails...

  • "I lived there a year, i know everything"  yeah ok....

  • He said NiggerHead... Ha.

    This lady is a prime example of the brainwashing power of nationalism.

    The worse things get; the more ppl gravitate to nationalism.

    The more nationalist we get; the less power we as a people actually have.

    Sit up and look around people!!!

    Stop being led into division!!!!!

  • yeah GOD is going to stop the big companys from robbing us blind and the goverment sending our money over seas .. If there is a god I would think he would want us to believe in ourselves, make the world better for everyone not just the rich.... please people do some research learn about Ron Paul.. and also search end the fed ...

  • you say our country is better off being a Christan nation. well look at where we are at, being that most of the country is Christan thus being a Christan nation. the usa has been in decline . because of this, atheist should run the nation. we are caring good people unlike the christens that run the country that are all for themselves. runining this country cause they care nothing about you and me. the pope protects child rapist. what is that. oh it must be gods will. you sick fucks.

  • @bob1978amon You need a history lesson bro, The major decline of america started way before all this nonsense. In the 1960s they got rid of prayer in schools and introduced the lie of evolution which EVERY piece of their so called evidence has been proven to be false. God has been pushed out of america on a wide scale and THAT'S why we are on a decline. There is no moral authority, we live in a get what you can at any expense kind of america, we lie, cheat, steal ect.. and thats the government!

  • @bob1978amon its no wonder why people act like this and we as a whole have been dragged through the slums... You tell people they are nothing but animals with no purpose in life at all why should they have morals or a reason to do better for everyone other than themselves? People confuse God's will with what human beings to... it is NOT God's will that people rape, kill, and steal however people have their own will. The government is telling us our will is better than God's abd to ignore God.

  • Rick Perry is holding a meeting - Rick Perry is NOT Congress, he is NOT establishing a law, and he is not establishing a religion. This attack of Rick Perry is an assault on fellow Americans constitutional right to assemble and the freedom of expression. And yes ... people still can pray in America and Atheists still do not exist. That's what makes Socialist Russia and Communist China so backwards and so archaic. They limit the freedoms of its citizens.

  • @BlackHispanicTParty we atheist do exist. here i am. and how can you be a god fearing person when the bible clearly states that slavery is a good thing. it boggles my mind. that black people love god for having slavery. hear is why their is no god. MAN WRITE THE BIBLE. end of discussion. use you mind, not a book. thats even if you know anything about the bible. most god people have never read that book. if they had we would all be atheist, that book is a fraud. as is the child rapist GOD.

  • @bob1978amon - Where in the Bible does it say the injustice of slavery was a good thing? The Bible only mentions it because it was a cultural reality at the time; it was never God's original intent. The Bible records real history because it's real true. Aren't you aware of the DIFFERENT CONTEXT for the term slavery mentioned in the bible? There are Indentured servants, sharecroppers, bond servants, employees, as well as, those stuck in forced labor - all with the same delineation as slaves.

  • Rick Perry is holding a meeting - Rick Perry is NOT Congress and he is NOT establishing a law! This attack of Rick Perry is an assault on fellow Americans constitutional right to assemble. And yes ... people still can pray in America and Atheists still do not exist.

  • she is rather extreme ..,very weird and ill informed ...it was NOT an atheist who filed the law suit to get prayer out of the schools ..it was another christian that didn't believe the way she does ..and a jewish doctor who nailed the case shut saying jewish kids who be harmed if they heard the prayer of the new testament .....Jesus Christ lady do some research !

  • Ms. Swain wants the majority to be able to decide constitutional law? Does she realize that the majority of the voters were against civil rights? The Constitution was written to prevent the "tyranny of the majority." Does she want to tear that down? Go back to biblical law? Stone sabbath-breakers, etc., ad nauseam?

    Give me strength. And keep church and state SEPARATE!

  • wow religious people are mentally retarded, she just states 'facts' then he refutes them and she doesnt listen

  • More Christians should be like Thom Hartmann.

  • All these bible thumping politicians need to remember the separation of church and state!!!!

  • First, the woman says that the First Amendment was designed to stop the government from establishing a state church, and then she says America was founded as a "Christian country". Where in the Constitution does it that? lol

  • This women is unbelievably messed up. 'Christians under seige', are you actually kidding me?!

  • Christians under seige? How the fuck can the majority be under siege?

  • You should be calling on Americans to change things, not pray.
