This nation needs to remove the ridiculous notion of "secularism" and needs to embrace State Christianity. Secularism allows for Godlessness to run rampant and Godlessness absolutely destroys a nation morally and spiritually. Time and time again do we see that nations that adopted secularist policies (and indeed became democracies as well) have immediately become corrupted and degenerate.

I've been burned by religion before. Doesn't change my feeling that any potential Monarchy should be a spiritual head head for the nation, but that in turn hasn't broken my belief that America is best of with a wall between church and state.
For one thing America is too diverse, to have a state church would mean either adopting an existing denomination or creating a new one. Arguably, the latter is the better option but still messy. If we used our imaginations, we would realize just because we seek a monarchial solution to our issues real or imagined; that doesn't we need to fully endorse a religion in our government.
Any potential Monarchist government would need to represent a broad range of Americans with good policies on real and popular issues with tangible impacts; "policy" not "politics" will win in the end. Adopting a state religion will not further the end goal, it will only stiffen opposition from revolutionary groups.
I'd also advice we be careful what we tag "degenerate". Because history has shown that those thoughts also lead to tragedies.
As a christian, I would like to disagree. This is becuase throughout history, several nations would weaponize religon for example in Britain, France, and Spain all would fight because their government didn't align with a specific way of christianity. Secularism fixes this issue. With the government staying out of religious affairs, it does promote not only religious freedom, but also lets other nations slightly less lethal if they religiously critisize us. I respect your opinion and have seen god things about gvernment and religion being one in the same, but in the end, it prevents the weaponization of religion.
As a Deist, I completely disagree. The government should stay neutral in religious matters. Government has a proper role in society, and religion has its own role. To mix the two leads to the corruption of each. Besides, ask yourself: would you be willing to let another religion (eg, Taosim, or Islam) rule your nation? For if not, why, then, would you seek to force your own upon others? Society should, I think, return to a spiritual and religious society, so as to instill respect for our Creator and adherence to morality, but the government and its laws should remain hands-off in matters of faith.
