The State of Oklahoma's Religious Bias as Reflected in Legislation and in the Capitol.

Abstract

When one thinks of the United States the thought of an American Dream/melting pot often comes to mind. This is why the U.S. has remained a pinnacle of immigration. However, the same nation that encourages all walks of life to migrate here, is still “A Nation Under God.” These ideals often present themselves in Oklahoma politics as well, seeing as how the state, due to its demographic, rests in the bible belt. So the State of Oklahoma is not too friendly to those of other faiths that are not protestant or other branches of Christianity. Research will show that past and present Oklahoma Law and Capitol decisions tend to be biased toward Protestantism.
